[Verse 1]
Am
I need a little bit of hope
F/C C
One ray of light
F/C C
Need just enough peace
G Am
To make it through the night
Am
I want to leave all I know
F/C C
Forget my name
F/C C
I want a wisdom deep enough
G Am Am/G
To stand through the constant change
[Chorus 1]
F F/E
So where is our common ground
Dm
Everything’s falling down
Am
Hold on to what matters
[Verse 2]
Am
Give me your tired and your poor
F/C C
Who yearn to breathe free
F/C C G Am
Send the homeless tempest-tossed to me
Am
Where’s the line that we crossed
F/C C
That broke the bond of trust
F/C C G Am Am/G
How did everything come to be them and us
[Chorus 2]
F F/E
So where is our common ground
Dm
Everything’s falling down
Am
Everything shattered
C G
Hold on to what matters
F F/E Dm
Hold on, hold on
Am
Hold on to what matters
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Am
We are all afraid
F/C C
We are all unsure
F/C C G Am
There’s no waving of the wand no miracle cure
Am
It’s not the end of the world
F/C C
Not the worst of your fears
F/C C G Am
It’s just the price for the last five hundred years
F/C C G Am Am/G
It’s the price for the last five hundred years
[Chorus 3]
F F/E
So where is our common ground
Dm
Everything’s falling down
Am
Everything shattered
G
Hold on to what matters
F F/E Dm Am
Hold on, hold on, hold on
F/C C F/C C G Am
Hold on
