verse 1:
E              A9
No one would love me
         E                       A9
If they knew all the things I hide

verse 2:

My words fall to the floor
As tears drip through the telephone line

refrain:
B9                        A9
And the hands I've seen raised to the sky
B9                  A9
Not waving but drowning all this time
B9                  A9
I'll try to build the ark that they need
E                                 A9
To float to you upon the crystal sea

chorus:
               E       A9
Give me your hand to hold
             E            A9
'Cause I can't stand to love alone
            E            A9            E
And love alone is not enough to hold us up
               A           B9         A
We've got to touch your robe
                            
So swing your robe down low
Swing your robe down low

verse2:
The prince of despair's been beaten
But the loser still fights
Death's on a long leash
Stealing my friends to the night

refrain2:
And everyone cries for the innocent
You say to love the guilty, too
And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness
So I'm working tearing back the roof

refrain3:
And the pain of the world is a burden and it's my cross to bear
And I stumble under all the weight
I know you're Simon standing there
And I know you're standing there
