you can hold the world up by a string 
     C            G 
with all that you have 
    Am           G             E7         Am   C  G 
and i will hold every part of you if i could 
 
        Am     G 
and i'm on... 
         Dsus2 
and i'm on again 
Dm     C

     Am           G 
and all that you have 
   Am  G        Dsus2
