E                       A
Little darling belle with such a fragile shell
E
In the powerful way that love seems to
        A               C#m
Make her all regret it now
C#m
And if she'd only say what's wrong
A
She can't go on
E
You've got to be strong now
A                       E
And if I come and hold you now
E                       A
You'll be safe and sound

E                       A
Little lonely face that no one ever sees
E
You see the thing she believes is
        A               C#m
Life is bittersweet if she'd open up to me
C#m
And its the only thing she dreams
A
You gotta believe
E
You've got to be strong now
A                       E
And if I come and hold you now
E                       A
You've got to be strong now
A               E
If I hold you now
A               E
If I hold you now
A               E
If I hold you now

E                       A
Ooh god if I could change a thing tonight
A
We won't be lonely
E                       C#m
Ooh god if I could change a thing
A                       E
Why does it have to be this way
E
You've got to be strong now
A                       E
And if I come and hold you now
E                       A
You've got to be strong now
A               E
If I hold you now
A               E
If I hold you now
