Adam Melchor - Hold On For Dear Life

[Intro]
G Bm C G
Nothing’s gonna happen if you don’t jump

[Verse 1]
G
I think that my fear of heights
G
Is really just a fear of sight
C
‘Cause when I close my eyes
Cm
Everything feels fine
G
Sometimes I feel like the kite and
G
Sometimes I feel like the hands
C
That hold the strings too tight
Cm
Hold on for dear life

[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
Leave it up to death
G D
‘Cause who knows what comes next
Em C D
And how could I ever rest my mind

[Chorus]
G Bm C G
Nothing’s gonna happen if you don’t jump
A7
Once in a while
D7
High as a mile
G Bm C Am
They say we’re just born to push our luck
C
Well I try

And I find
Cm G
It leaves me here to hold on for dear life

[Verse 2]
G
You think that your fear of ghosts
G
Is really just a fear of getting
C
Close to afterlife
Cm
Or the lack thereof
G
You sit in your haunted house
G
And keeping all these feelings
C
So far out of sight
Cm
Try to pack them up

[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
Leave it up to death
G D
‘Cause who knows what comes next
Em C D
And how could I ever rest my mind

[Chorus]
G Bm C G
Nothing’s gonna happen if you don’t jump
A7
Once in a while
D7
High as a mile
G Bm C Am
They say we’re just born to push our luck
C
Well I try

And I find
Cm Em
It leaves me here to hold on for dear life
