G                A#m              C# 
I'll hold your hand till it goes cold.
G             A#m            C# 
I'll hold my tears until you go.
G              A#m                  C# 
With all the life that leaves your bones,
G              A#m           C# 
it soaks the purpose from my own.

Please don't go...

G              A#m               C# 
I love you more than you could know.
G              A#m           C# 
You've got a hole inside my soul.
G              A#m               C# 
It's like a mountain soaked in snow.
G              A#m            C# 
It's in the earth the river flows.

I've kept my own side of the bed,
G              A#m                  C# 
thinking you'd be home again.
G              A#m                  C# 
I hold myself so I can sleep.
G              A#m                  C# 
My pillow holds the screams of me.

So lay yourself down on my chest,
G              A#m            C# 
'cause I know how to hold you best.
G              A#m                     C# 
I'll keep you through these last few breaths,
G              A#m             C# 
and kiss and love you till the end.
