1                              17
When there's nowhere else to run
                           4
Is there room for one more son?
         1
One more son?
       6
If you can hold on,
       4                1
If you can hold on, hold on.


[Verse]
1
I want to stand up, I want to let go
                                        4
You know you know - no, you don't, you don't.
                                    1
I want to shine on in the hearts of men.

I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand.

1
Another head aches, another heart breaks.
                              4
I'm so much older than I can take.
                                     1
And my affection, well it comes and goes.

I need direction to perfection, no no no no


[Hook]
1
Help me out, yeah

You know you gotta help me out, yeah
                           4
Oh don't you put me on the back burner,
                           1
You know you gotta help me out, yeah.


[Verse]
1
And when there's nowhere else to run
                              4
Is there room for one more son?

These changes ain't changing me,
     1
The cold-hearted boy I used to be.


[Chorus]
1
Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah
                           4
Oh don't you put me on the back burner
                            1
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
                            6
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah


[Bridge]
                            4
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
                            1
You're gonna bring yourself down.

1
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
4
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
1
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier (2x)
6
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
4                               1
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier


[Chorus]
1
Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah
                           4
Oh don't you put me on the back burner
                            1
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
                            1
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah

You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
                           4
Oh don't you put me on the back burner,
                            1
You're gonna bring yourself down


[Outro]
6         2               4
Over and in, last call for sin.
                                     5
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
                                1
With all these things that I've done.
                                6
With all these things that I've done.
       4                   5           1
If you can hold on, if you can hold on...
