[Intro]
 C9  G/B  D/F#  G (2x)

[Verse 1]
       C9      G/B
I was alone so long
 D/F#        G               C9
I didn’t even know that I was lonely

(G/B  D/F#  G)

           C9      G/B
Out in the cold so long
 D/F#        G               C9
I didn’t even know that I was cold

(G/B  D/F#)

C/E              D4/F#
Turned my collar to the wind
C                D4
This is how it’s always been

[Chorus]
C             G
All I’ve ever known
           D/F#    G
Is how to hold my own


(D/F#  G  Em7  D/F#)

C             G
All I’ve ever known
           D/F#    G
Is how to hold my own
C9              G         C9
But now I wanna hold you, too

(G/B  D/F#  G)

(C9  G/B  D/F#  G)
(D/F#  C)


[Verse 2]
            C9      G/B
You take me in your arms
   F2
And suddenly there’s sunlight
      C9   G/B D/F# G
All around Me
           C9         G/B
Everything bright and warm
   F2                           C9
And shining like it never did before

(G/B  D/F#)

    C/E            D4/F#
And for a moment I forget
C                 D4
Just how dark and cold it gets


[Chorus]
C             G
All I’ve ever known
           D/F#    G
Is how to hold my own

 D/F#  G  Em7  D/F#

C             G
All I’ve ever known
           D/F#    G
Is how to hold my own
    D/F#        G
But now I wanna hold you
F
Now I wanna hold you
F2
Hold you close
F2
I don’t wanna ever have to let you go
F2
Now I wanna hold you, hold you tight
F2
I don’t wanna go back
       F2      C/E
To the lonely life

(G/B  C  F2  C/E  G/B  C)


[Verse 3]
             F2      C/E
I don’t know how or why
  G/B      C
Or who am i that
                 F2
I should get to hold you

(C/E  G/B  C)

           F2           C/E
But when I saw you all alone
           G/B          C
Against the sky its like
                  F2
I’d known you all Along

(C/E  G/B)

F2          G
I knew you before we met
F2                G
And I don’t even know you yet


[Chorus]
F2     C
All I know is your someone
         G/B     C
I have always Known

(G/B  C  Am7  G/B)

F2     C
All I know is your someone
          G/B    C
I have always Known
      G/B        C
And I don’t even know you
Bb
Now I wanna hold you
Bb2
Hold you close
Bb2
I don’t wanna ever have to let you go
Bb2
Suddenly the sunlight, bright and warm
Bb2
Suddenly I'm holding
      C9     G/B D/F#
The world in my arms

(G  C9  G/B  D/F#)

[Verse 4]
G               D/F#
Say that you’ll hold me forever
G            D/F#                     Em7
Say that the wind won’t change on us
               C                    Em7
Say that we’ll stay with each other
          D/F#
And it’ll always be like this


[Verse 5]
G         D/F#
I’m gonna hold you forever
G             D/F#               Em7
The wind will never change on us
              C                    Em7
As long as we stay with each other
             D/F#           G
Then it will always be like this
