[Opening]
[E]When there’s nowhere else to [E7]run, is there room for one more [A]son?
One more [E]son? If you [C#m]can hold on, if you [A]can hold on, hold [E]on.
[E]I want to stand up, I want to let go, you know you know - no, you don’t, you [A]don’t.
I want to shine on in the hearts of [E]men. I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand.

[verse 2]
[E]Another head aches, another heart breaks. I’m so much older than I can [A]take.
And my affection, well it comes and [E]goes. I need direction to perfection, no no no no
[E]Help me out, yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah
Oh don’t you put me on the [A]back burner, you know you gotta help me [E]out, yeah.

[verse 3]
[E]And when there’s nowhere else to run, is there room for one more [A]son?
These changes ain’t changing me, the [E]cold-hearted boy I used to be.

[chorus]
[E]Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah, oh don’t you put me on the [A]back burner
You know you gotta help me [E]out, yeah, you’re gonna bring yourself [C#m]down, yeah
You’re gonna bring yourself [A]down, yeah, you’re gonna bring yourself [E]down.

[verse 4]
[E]I got soul, but I’m not a soldier, I got soul, but I’m not a soldier
[A]I got soul, but I’m not a soldier, [E]I got soul, but I’m not a soldier
[E]I got soul, but I’m not a soldier, [C#m]I got soul, but I’m not a soldier
[A]I got soul, but I’m not a soldier [E]

[chorus]
[E]Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah, oh don’t you put me on the [A]back burner
You know you gotta help me [E]out, yeah, you’re gonna bring yourself [E]down, yeah
You’re gonna bring yourself down, yeah, oh don’t you put me on the [A]back burner,
You’re gonna bring yourself [E]down

[Closing]
[C#m]Over and [F#m]in, last call for [A]sin. While everyone’s lost, the battle is [B]won
With all these things that I’ve [E]done. With all these things that I’ve [C#m]done.
If you [A]can hold on, if you [B]can hold on. [E]
