Key of A7
First Verse
Dark clouds have been gatherin', yeah it's all about me.
And my mind's been ragin' like a storm on the sea.
You said I could call you if I needed a friend,
Please hold on to me, I'm feeling again.
(chorus)
Please hold on to me until I can stand
Then please stand by me,
I'm feeling again
Second Verse
I've lived in a bottle, and I've lived in bars,
I've lived in cheap dirty motel rooms, my arms have the scars.
But I'm damned tired of living for dying my friend
Please hold on to me
I'm feeling again.
Repeat Chorus
Third Verse
I denied my emotions, I didn't know how to feel
My wounds they've deepened and they've never healed.
But I've dumped that prescription, just don't work no more friend,
Please hold on to me
I'm feeling again.
Repeat Chorus
Fourth Verse
I see in your face friend, you're sick and you're tired
Life's had you beaten, but I see your desire.
I've been a loser, but I'm learnin' to win
I'll hold on to you
While we feel again.
Alternate Chorus
I'll hold on to you until we can stand.
Then stand beside you, while we feel again.
Fifth Verse
Last night I dreamed that I had passed on
All of my sorrows and heartaches were gone.
I walked up to God and I stuck out my hand.
She hugged me and said,
I'm God, and I'm an addict, and I understand."
I said, Lord hold on to me until I can stand>
Then please God, stand by me
I'm feeling again
