C                         F   C
If we're both not married by twenty-two
C                  F       G
Could I be so bold and ask you?
F                 G       C  Csus2  Am
If we're both not married by twenty-three
         F             G       C
Will you make my year, and ask me?

[Verse 2]
C                         F         C
If we're both not married by twenty-four
C                                    F               G
Will you pass me those knee pads and I'll get on the floor
F                 G       C  Csus2  Am
If we're both not married by twenty-five
F                                 G           C
I hope that there's some childish spark still alive

[Pre-Chorus]
          F           C
Cos there are so many lessons
       F                   C
That I just never cared to learn
          F           C                    G
And there are so many questions that still burn, like

[Chorus]
C                F          C
Will you hold my hand when I go?
C                F          C
Will you hold my hand when I go?
C                F          C
Will you hold my hand when I go?
C                Am   F     C
Will you hold my hand when I go?

[Verse 3]
C                         F         C
If I get to thirty and I don't have a wife
C                         F         G
I'll ask you nicely but I won't ask twice
F                 G     C     Csus2  Am
If I get to forty and I don't have a spouse
F                                  G               C
I'll fashion you a letter and I'll send it to your house

[Verse 4]
C                          F            C
If I get to sixty will you let me slip away
C                    F               G
Into an armchair for the rest of my days
F                   G          C   Csus2 Am
Cos you've got your family and I've got mine
F                      G              C
The love that we share is for another time

[Pre-Chorus]
          F           C
Cos there are so many lessons
       F                 C
That I just never get to learn
          F           C                    G
And there are so many questions that still burn, like

[Chorus]
C                F          C
Will you hold my hand when I go?
C                F          C
Will you hold my hand when I go?
C                F          C
Will you hold my hand when I go?
C                Am   F     C
Will you hold my hand when I go?
