You don't have to be so scared
Am G
You don't have to leave tonight
C F
I just need to hold on tight
Am G
For one hell of a ride
C F
And we lost it all just now
Am G
To the nights that left you out
C F
So we'll let this go somehow
Am G
But you're gonna be proud so proud
C
And I just needed you to pick me up
F
Like you did when we were younger
Am
When the lightning and the thunder
G
Had me clinging to your heart
For someone
C
To lift me up
F
When I'm down and I'm forgotten
Am
You'll forever be my father
G
And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one
C F
How can I fit all these words
Am G
Into such a simple verse
C F
It's the last time that we'll speak
C G
So listen to me please
C

F
Like you did when we were younger
Am
When the lightning and the thunder
G
Had me clinging to your heart
For someone
C
To lift me up
F
When I'm down and I'm forgotten
Am
You'll forever be my father
G
I'll be saving tears in jars for this one
C F Am G
And I just needed you to pick me up Whoa oh oh oh oh oh (2x)

Had me clinging to your heart
For someone
