Intro: Dm  F   Bb

Verse 1:
Dm
 Doc said I got twelve hours
C
 I called you without a second thought
Bb
 Plane ride within the hour

As she pictures life without her son
Dm  C     Bb
Oh, oh, I know, mm-hmm

Verse 2:
Dm
One hour visitation
C
She beats me in chess, another round
Bb
Don't matter what we're saying

I'm just glad you made it into town
Dm  C      Bb
Oh, oh, mm-hmm, mm-mm

Pre-Chorus:
Dm               C
Save me, now I'm facing
       Bb
All my fears of the unknown

I've been shakin' in my bones
Dm                C
Lately, I've been praying
     Bb
To a god I've never known

I can't do this on my own

Chorus:
              F
So try not to cry
                Gm7
I won't say goodbye just yet
   C
So hold on to my hand
            Bb          F
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
               Gm7
With you by my side, oh my
    C                             Bb
But don't you know, you're my lifeline

Verse 3:
Dm
I know I'm not good at calling
C
Dad said I've fallen off the grid
Bb
We hardly say I love you

Cause your parent's parents never did
Dm  C   Bb
Oh, oh, ooh

Pre-Chorus:
Dm               C
Save me, now I'm facing
       Bb
All my fears of the unknown

I've been shakin' in my bones
Dm                C
Lately, I've been praying
     Bb
To a god I've never known

I can't do this on my own

Chorus:
              F
So try not to cry
                Gm7
I won't say goodbye just yet
   C
So hold on to my hand
            Bb          F
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
               Gm7
With you by my side, oh my
    C                             F
But don't you know, you're my lifeline

Bridge:
                       Dm
So let go 'cause I won't waste another minute
F                             Dm
 This distance, we're drifting from difference of opinion
F               Dm
 I can't be mad I'm not what you prayed for
F                   Dm
 I hope you know that no one else could

Pre-Chorus 2:
Dm
Save me
          C
I've been praying
     Bb
To a god I've never known

I can't do this on my own

Chorus:
           F
Try not to cry
                Gm7
I won't say goodbye just yet
   C
So hold on to my hand
            Bb          F
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
               Gm7
With you by my side, oh
C                             Bb
Don't you know, you're my lifeline
    F            Gm7
Oh, oooh, my lifeline

Don't you know, you're my lifeline
