Hang Around Awhile

[Verse]
Am       D                 G
Here I stand without an answer
Am        D                G
Reaching out to feel your hand
       Em                G               C              C
And I try to find the courage that can keep me hanginʼ on
    Am       D           G
You help me be a better me
    Am    D                 G
So many left without a goodbye
      Am     D           G
A thousand miles in between


             G              Em                  G                    C
I could not have made the change without your push in the right direction
     Am  D             G      G   C
Lift me up, help me escape


[Chorus]
Am                 D                 G                   C
All the years of hell that seem to fall right by the wayside
     Am                  D             G             C
And All the times Iʼve needed someone to believe in me
     Am              D                  G               C
To think about the odds that youʼd be sharing in this love
 N.C.
I hope you hang around awhile

[Verse]
Am         D                 G
Here you stand with your defenses
Am              D                                G
Build them up and build them strong
        Em                 G                             C
Itʼs alright to let them soften as I hold you close at night
    Am      D                 G
No need to hide a thing from me


[Chorus]
Am                 D                G                    C
All the years of hell that seem to fall right by the wayside
     Am                  D             G             C
And All the times Iʼve needed someone to believe in me
     Am              D                   G              C
To think about the odds that youʼd be sharing in this love
N.C.
I hope you hang around awhile


  Am            D              G                 C
Hang around so you can see me take my second chances
Am              D               G                 C
Hang around so you can help me wish on one more star
Am              D                 G                C
Hang around so we can take this love and make it shine
N.C.
I hope youʼll hang around a while
