Verse 1
      F 
Many s when I was little I'd hold my Daddy's hand
[No chords]
Many s I thought I was so strong I'd let go and try to stand
      Bb
Many s I'd fall and was so ashamed, never good enough
         C                            Eb                   Eb[hold]
But someone failed to tell me holding on doesn't do too much

Chorus
      F                        F
Somes I'm on the mountain holding on to Your hand
    Bb                      Bb                F 
Somes I'm in the middle holding the best I can
     F                        F
Somes I'm in the valley I let go long ago
    Bb                             Eb  C              F[4 ]
My hand is weak and tired but Your hand still has a hold

Verse 2
     F                             F
Many s when I was a child they told me to follow the rules
      F                           F
Many s I tried oh so hard to do what they wanted me to
          Bb
But many s I failed
                       Bb
And in my disgrace, I couldn't call Your name
       C
But I found that though I left You
          Eb                Eb
You were with me all the same

[Chorus]

Bridge
               Ab[hold]
I've tried to hold on to You
          Bb[hold]             F    F
Seems the best I can do is somes
      Ab[hold]
Doing everything I can
         Bb[hold]                       F   F
But it's slipping through my hands somes
[Half ]
            Ab            F         Ab              F
If You're looking for consistency look to someone else
           Ab                   F
'Cause I'm holding hands with heaven
          Ab              F
While I'm making eyes at hell
Ab           Bb            Eb                Bb
If I'm ever gonna' change  God, I need Your help
Bb[crash on 3] [open bar in on 1]

[Chorus]
