There’s an (Am)oth er world in side of me that (C)you may nev er (G)see.

There’s (Am)se crets in this life that I can’t hide.

Well, (Am)some where in this dark ness, there’s a (C)light that I can’t (G)find.

Well, (Am)may be it’s too far a way, yeah,

(G)or may be I’m just blind.

Yeah, may be I’m just blind.

So, hold me when I’m (A5)here.

Right me when I’m wrong.

Hold me when I’m (D5)scared and love me (G5)when I’m gone.

Ev ’ry thing I (A5)am and ev ’ry thing in me wants to be the (D5)one you want ed (G5)me to be.

I’ll nev er let you (A5)down, e ven if I could.

I’d give up ev ’ry (D5)thing if on ly (G5)for your good.

So, hold me when I’m (A5)here.

Right me when I’m wrong.

So, love me when (A5)I’m gone.

Love me when (A5)I’m gone.

When your (Am)ed u ca tion x ray can not (C)see un der my (G)skin.
