INTRO: C - G - Am - G - C - G - Am - F
C G Am F C G
Hey hey, if we can't find a way out of these problems
Am F
Then maybe we don't need this
C G Am F C G
Standing face to face, enemies at war we build defences
Am F
And secret hiding places
CHORUS
C G Am F
I might need you to hold me tonight
C G Am F
I might need you to say it's alright
C G Am F
I might need you to make the first stand
Fmaj7 G
'Cause tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
C G Am F
Hold me tonight,
C G Am F
Say it's alright
C G Am F C G
Hey hey, more than angry words I hate this silence
Am F
It's getting so loud
C G Am F
Well I want to scream, but bitterness had
C G
Silenced these emotions
Am F
It's getting hard to breathe
C G
So tell me isn't happiness?
Am F
Worth more than a golden diamond ring?
C G Am F
I'm willing to do anything to calm the storm in my heart
C G
I've never been a praying kind,
Am F
But lately I've been down upon my knees
C G F G
Not looking for a miracle, just a reason to believe
CHORUS
C G
Do you remember not long ago?
Am
How we used to live for the lifetime
F
Cherish each moment
C G Am F
Now we don't live we exist, we just run through our lives
C G Am F
That's why you've got to hold me
- G - Am - F
CHORUS
Outro (same as Intro)

| Relationships are HARD. Hard times are inevitable. It involves two people trying to live one life. And the person you're sharing your life with becomes your other half and unfortunately, that means you take out all of your thoughts and emotions on that person. It's hard to bring 2 lifes together. Sometimes walls and defenses are built up and it gets to the point where neither of you are sure what you're fighting about anymore. And although you truly love one another, it gets to the point where love just isn't enough. | |

| Every relationship goes through a stage where both don't think that it will last. But in this case, he obviously really wants to pull through this bad stage. He states that defences were built from each other but neither wants to be the first one to take a stand and tear them down. | |

| I remember Darren saying that this song was written about the last period of his marriage...they loved each other but still kept on hurting themselves with arguments and there were no way back. It describes so perfectly the sense of having to end it for your own good...but how much you would give to save it. And you know it's goodbye...but you still need that person to hold you for the last time...to end in good terms such an important thing in your life. | |

| This song has very significant meaning for me and my hunny. We both get really angry at each other and sometimes we both feel like giving up. But this song gives us both faith that everything's going to be okay if we're willing to try and patch things up. There's more to a good relationship than simply having love for the person. | |

| I think it's about two exes... they're both still in love with eachother, but they won't admit it because they're both afraid of being hurt again. "bitterness has silenced these emotions" But now he's ready to give it another try "I'm willing to do anything to calm the storm in my heart" admirable courage! | |

| I always felt this song was about a moment in a relationship when you just don't care anymore. You're sick of always being first to take a stand and just want them to take charge for a while. | |

| I love... "I've never been the praying kind but lately I've been down upon my knees not looking for a mircale, just a reason to believe." Sigh, I know exactly what he means. I think that's why I love Savage Garden so much... they always know how to describe emotions. Also, those few lines remind me of The Mists of Avalon (by Marion Zimmer Bradly) because the entire story is about people searching for faith. | |
