If you offered me a shade of blue 
D       G            D        G 
would I return it saying that it was too  
        F#m 
Dark or light? 
           A                 Bm 
Or would I see it for the precious thing 
     Em       Em  F#m G              D G D G 
That it might one day be? Hold on to me 

D       G           D        G   
If you offered me a point of view 
        D           G      D          G   
Would I dismiss it saying that it was too 
          F#m 
Black and white? 
           A               Bm 
Or would I see it as the special thing 
     Em       Em F#m   G              D G D G 
That it would no doubt be? Hold on to me 

A                    G 
I'll hold on to this gift we share 
         A                 Bm 
It is as slippery as it is rare 
     A               G 
I'll hold on to that feeling 
   F#m                    Bm    
Of waking and finding you there 
 Em       Em F#m G          F#m  Em    D G D G    
I'll hold on to you and you hold on to me 

D    G               D      G 
If I asked you for a simple thing 
          D     G       D        G       
Would you do it without too much thinking  
   F#m 
or fuss? 
        A                 Bm 
would I see it for the precious thing 
     Em       F#m    G              D G D G 
that it would surely be? Hold on to me 
     D  G  D  G   D     G 
Hold on to me 
     D  G  D  G   D     G 
Hold on to me

Hold on to me 
           D G D G  
Hold on to me

Hold on to me 
     D G D G  
Hold on
