[G] [D]
[A] [D] I'm cold-headed nine times, asking [G] you to not [D] make a tear.
[G] I'm peeling off [D] all the armor that protected [A] my skin.
[D]
Apologize, I'm laying [G] down my ego [D] to rest.
[G] Would you be mine [D] forever, just in case?
I think about the old days, [G] but we've been through to [D] survive.
[G] We get better [D] with time, tell me I'm wrong.
[A] [D] Looking back to the start, [G] who we were when [D] we met.
This [G] box of pictures [D] tells a story, when we fight we [A] forget.
[D] I can barely recognize us [G] back then, we [D] were obsessed.
Can't [G] make up [D] out this madness, [A] soon get back to the past.
[D] Think about the old days, [G] but we've been through to [D] survive.
[G] We get better [D] with time, tell me I'm [A] wrong.
I'm [D] broken, do you always?
We [G] follow the same [D] guiding light, [G] passing like ships in [D] the night.
[A] Can we hang on?
[Bm]
[G] Can we hang on?
[D] [G] Can we hang on?
[D] Can we hang on?
Could've gone either [G] way if one of [D] us had walked.
[G] If I'd gone [D] off and you caved [A] in, and we broke it [D] off, I'd be lost.
I'd be chasing some broke down [G] dream, I'd be bored [D] to death.
[G] We cannot [D] stay forever [A] young and out of our heads.
[D]
Tomorrow, [G] if I can get through [D] tonight, [G] then we'll be [D] all right.
[A] Can we be strong?
I'm [D] broken, do you always?
Even [G] more than like ships in [D] the night.
[G] Won't you go passing [D] me by?
Can [A] we hang on?
[Bm] Can [G] we hang on?
[D] Can [G] we hang on?
[D] Can [A] we hang on?
You [D] can't fight it, if [G] you're dying [D] to live.
If you want to know the secret, [A] hang on.
You [Bm] can't fight it, if [G] you're dying [D] to live.
If you [G] want to [D] know the secret, [A] hang on.
You [Bm] can't fight it, if [G] you're dying [D] to live.
If you want to know the secret, [A] hang on.
