Hold My Heart Chords by Tenth Avenue North

[Am] _ [G] Um, and this song, [Dm] this is actually, [E] uh, uh, just got released to radio this past weekend.
Um, and this song [Eb] I wrote with, uh, some friends of mine, and [Gm] we basically all got together
one day, and it was like, [E] every single one of us were just going through _ the worst possible situations.
I mean, I say that with a grain of salt, because we're American, so, our problems aren't really that bad.
I don't really agree, but, I [Eb] mean, in our moment, and we just were all going [E] through
this heartache in different situations, and we honestly, we just got together like, man,
I just don't know if I can write like a poppy, happy song right now.
And we _ _ kind of got driven to this one lyric in the bridge, and it says this, it says,
you know what?
[Bb] There's so many [N] questions without answers, but your promises remain.
Um, I grew up in Christian school, so I used to think, I'm still recovering from that,
by the way.
_ And I grew up thinking I had to have an answer for every question.
[Dm] And I grew up under this [E] delusion that Christianity was about a bunch of right answers, and not
realizing that at the heart of Christianity [N] is an encounter with a person.
They're very different from, [A] when you realize at [G] the heart of what we are, and what we believe
is this relational aspect.
And [D] so, um, [Gm] this song is just saying, God, I can't feel [C] you, I don't know where you are,
but I want to trust you.
I really [E] do.
So, if you could just come, and we could have an encounter, it would change all my questions.
_ So it's called Hold My Heart.

_ _ I'm on my knees, begging [C] you to [G]

_ [Am] I'm on my knees, Father [G] will you turn to me?
_ _ [C] Yeah.
One tear in the dropping, _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
acre of the stars, [G] _
hear the sound of my breaking heart.
[C] _
One lie, that's all I, _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
if you ever been to see you, I [G] would just come close and hold my _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] heart.
I've been [F] so afraid, [C] afraid to close my [G] _ eyes.
_ [Am] _
So [F] much could slip away, [C] before I say [G] goodbye.
_ But [Am] _
if there's [F] no other way, [C] I'm done asking [G] why.
_ [F] Cause I'm on my knees, begging [G] you to turn to me.
_ _ [Am] I'm on _ my knees, Father [G] will you run to _ me?

_ _ if _ _ [F] _
you ever been to see you, I [G] would just come close and hold my _ [Dm] heart. _
Many [Am] questions without _ [C] answers, your promises _ [G] remain.
_ _ [Dm] I can't see [E] closing my chances, [Am] to hear [G] you call [F] my name.
[Am] To hear [G] you call [F] my name. _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ One tear in the dropping _ [Am] rain, one voice in a sea of pain.
[F] Could the maker of the _ [G] stars, hear the sound of my [C] breaking _ heart.
One lie, that's all I, _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ if you ever been to see you, I [G] would just come close and hold my heart.
