I see you standing here
But you're so far away
Starving for your attention
You don't even know my name
You're going through so much
But I know that I could be the one to hold you
[Chorus:]
Every single day
I find it hard to say
I could be yours alone
You will see someday
That all along the way
I was yours to hold
I was yours to hold
I see you walking by
Your hair always hiding your face
I wonder why you've been hurting
I wish I had some way to say
You're going through so much
Don't you know that I could be the one to hold you
[Bridge:]
I'm stretching but you're just out of reach
You should know
I'm ready when you're ready for me
And I'm waiting for the right time
For the day I catch your eye
To let you know
That I'm yours to hold

E|---3
Basically, it's just a varation on G, but it's different from the straight G chord. It
isn't hard to play, just add your 3rd finger on the 3rd fret of the B string. That's all
that changes. It's what Skillet plays in the song, but again, I don't know if there's a
real name for it or not. Same thing applies to what I called Em-Alt. it's the same as an
Em, but with those 2 fingers on the 3rd frets of the hi-E and B strings.
Verse 1:
D D2 G-Alt
I see you standing here
Bm A G
But you’re so far away
