Hanging On

Dm   C
Dm   C  A#

[Verse 1]
F                              Dm
  Last night I dreamed of you again
    F
You swim your way up through my veins
  Dm                                 F
Into my soul until you've reached my brain
                             Dm
You are the greatest part of me
      F
So if dreaming's the only time you're near
     Dm
Then waking up will be my nightmare

[Pre-Chrous]
    F                            Dm
And at that very moment I jumped out of my bed
  F                        Dm
Trying to remember all the things you said
        F                        Dm                      C
It was "Ronnie, I adore you, but nothing really lasts forever."

[Chorus]
                 F     Dm  C
You gotta let me know!
                       F    Dm  C
Don't leave me hanging,             and complicate it
F      Dm     C                             F     Dm C
All we are is setting ourselves up to fall apart
                       Dm   C                        
Don't leave me hanging on!

Dm   C  A#

[Verse 2]
F                        Dm
  I am a lesson you will learn
    F 
I'd take away your pain and hurt
    Dm
But I'm not strong enough to be your cure
F                          Dm
  I am the battle you will lose
    F
You think that you are saving me
    Dm
But I'm the one that's saving you so

[Pre-Chorus]
    F                        Dm
And at that very moment you appeared in my bed
F                                  Dm
Looked you in your eyes and then I finally said

        F                      Dm                       C
It was "Baby, I adore you, but this ain't gonna last forever."

[Chorus]
                 F     Dm C
You gotta let me know!
                       F    Dm  C
Don't leave me hanging,             and complicate it
F      Dm     C                             F     Dm C
All we are is setting ourselves up to fall apart
                       F
Don't leave me hanging on!

[Bridge]
F                            Dm
This is all I have to offer, sacrifice me on your altar
F 
Like a lamb to the slaughter;
Dm
Slit my throat, I'll die with honor
F                            Dm
This is all I have to offer, sacrifice me on your altar
F
Like a lamb to the slaughter;
Dm
Slit my throat, I'll die with honor
Dm
Slit my throat, I'll die with honor

F    Dm  C

[Chorus]
                       F    Dm C
Don't leave me hanging,            and complicate it
F      Dm     C                             F     Dm C
All we are is setting ourselves up to fall apart
                       F
Don't leave me hanging on!

[Outro]
F             Dm             C
This is all I have to offer, sacrifice me on your altar
F           Dm
Like a lamb to the slaughter;
C
Slit my throat, I'll die with honor
F             Dm             C
This is all I have to offer, sacrifice me on your altar
F           Dm                C
Like a lamb to the slaughter;

                       Dm  C
Don't leave me hanging on
