Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

I've seen it and felt it

Hopelessness with no lifeline

The wicked are feeding

On innocence and our decline

You and I we are the same

 Torn apart by different things

 All our faith is barely alive

 But we're going to make it through the night

 I want you to know

Chorus

When the world is on your back

 And you think that you will never last

 When you're lonely and you are confused

 I'll be right beside you

 When the walls are closing in

 And you think you'd rather sink than swim

 When you think there's nothing left for you to lose

 I'll be right beside you

 I'll be with you

Verse

We are precious

More than priceless is our worth

 Loved by the Father

Heaven's children here on earth

 You and I we are the same

 Lifted up above the pain

 By its wounds we have been healed

 And in our love it is revealed

 I want you to know (I need you to know)

Chorus

When the world is on your back

 And you think that you will never last

 When you're lonely and you are confused

 I'll be right beside you

 When the walls are closing in

 And you think you'd rather sink than swim

 When you think there's nothing left for you to lose

 I'll be right beside you

Bridge

Hold on, don't you let go of me

 I'll be here through it all

Hold on, when you're ready to fall

 I will carry you

 I will never leave you

 I will lift you if you fall

Chorus

When the world is on your back

 And you think that you will never last

 When you're lonely and you are confused

 I'll be right beside you

 When the walls are closing in

 And you think you'd rather sink than swim

 When you think there's nothing left for you to lose

 I'll be right beside you
