I’m fighting too hard to win
H F#
Back on the ground again,
F#maj
I feel like giving in
H F#
But you’re my second wind.
F#
Don’t you ever tire
A#m/F D#m
Facing all my fires,
A#m/C# H
I don’t need no one,
C#add11 C#
But you right now.
So, I say,
Chorus:
F# H F#
Oh, my friend, you’re holding out your hand,
H F# C# H Hmaj
I take it like an oar from the depths.
F# A#m H A#m
Hey, lifesaver, I’m drowning in despair,
H F# C# H
But you’re fighting for me right until the end.
F#
You pull me back to land and save me once again.

F# F#maj F#6
You help me wash away
H H5- F#
The insane mistakes I’ve made.
F#maj F#6
And I see it in your face,
H H5- F#
My only source of grace.
F#
No, I don’t take for granted,
A#m/F D#m
All the time you’ve wasted
A#m/C# H C#
Making sacrifices for a fool.
So, I say,
Chorus:
F# A#m H F#
Oh, my friend, you’re holding out your hand,
H F# C# H
I take it like an oar from the depths.
F# A#m H A#m
Hey, lifesaver, I’m drowning in despair,
H F# C# H
But you’re fighting for me right until the end.

You pull me back to land and save me once again.
F# A#m
You lift me higher,
H F#
You hold the fire,
H F# C# F#
You make me strong enough to stand.
F# A#m
You lift me higher,
H F#
You hold the fire,
G#m
I may not stand tall,
H C#
But without you I’d fall.
Chorus:
F# A#m H F#
Oh, my friend, you’re holding out your hand,
H F# C# H
I take it like an oar from the depths.
F# A#m H A#m
Hey, lifesaver, I’m drowning in despair,
H F# C# H
But you’re fighting for me right until the end.

You lift me higher,

You hold the fire,
H F# C# F#
You make me strong enough to stand.
