[Verse 1]
E
 I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
E
You know, you know - no, you don't, you don't
A                                   E
 I wanna shine on in the hearts of men

I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand

E
Another head aches, another heart breaks
E
I'm so much older than I can take
A                                      E
 And my affection, well, it comes and goes

I need direction to perfection, no no no no


[Chorus]
        E
Help me out, yeah
                           E
You know you gotta help me out, yeah

Oh, don't you put me on the back burner

You know you gotta help me out, yeah


[Verse 2]

 And when there's nowhere else to run

[Outro]
(C#m)    F#m               A
Over and in, last call for sin
                                     B
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
                                 E
With all these things that I've done
                            C#m
All these things that I've done
        A                   B           E
If you can hold on, if you can hold on...
