postmarked in December of last year

I really hope you're doing better

all your friends close by your side

one step closer to recovering

[Bridge]

I wish there was something I could say

to erase each and every page

you've been through

even though it's not my place to save you

G D

I appreciate but can't accept

A Bm A G

this thank you note that's sealed with your last breath

D A

and I won't stand aside and listen to you give up

[Chorus]

If you'll just hold on for one more second

Just hold on to what you have

If you'll just hold on. Just hold on.

If you'll just hold on for one more second

Just hold on to what you have

C G A D

If you'll just hold on. Just hold on.

[Verse 2]

These arms remain stretched out to you

Maybe someday you'll accept them

or maybe it's too late to save

a young girl's heart that's long stopped beating

Wake up, wake up, you gotta believe

Wake up, wake up, you can't give up

Time keeps going on without us

G A

long after we're dead and gone

this thank you note that's sealed with your last breath

D A

and I won't stand aside and listen to you give up

Just hold on to what you have

C G

If you'll just hold on. Just hold on.

If you'll just hold on for one more second

Just hold on to what you have

C G

If you'll just hold on. Just hold on.

You will wake up tomorrow

Just hold on to what you have

Bm C G

Just hold on to what you have

If you'll just hold on for one more second

Just hold on to what you have

C G A D

If you'll just hold on. Just hold on.
