[Intro]
  D   GM/D(3x)
[Verse 1]
When Dno one cared about me if GM/DI should live or die,
and Dno one bothered asking why GM/DI'd go alone and cry.
When Dburdens got so heavy that GM/DI could not face the day,
then I'd F#m7feel His arms around Bm7me and I'd Cmhear Him gently Asay,
[Chorus]
D"Lean A7on DMe.A.... Gwhen you have no strength Dto stand.
When you Bm7feel you're goin' F#m7under, hold Cmtighter to my Ahand.
Lean on Dme..A.... Gwhen your heart begins to Dbleed
when you Bm7come to the place F#m7that I'm all you have,
then you'll Cmfind I'm Aall you Dneed.GM/D  D  GM/D  
[Verse 2]
When the Droad ahead seems rugged and the GM/Dpath is getting steep,
I Dfeel that I can’t make it and my GM/Dheart begins to weep.
Then I Dturn to see who’s comin’ to GM/Djoin me in the way,
and I F#m7see that it’s my Bm7Savior and I Cmhear Him gently Asay,
[Chorus]
D"Lean A7on DMe.A.... Gwhen you have no strength Dto stand.
When you Bm7feel you're goin' F#m7under, hold Cmtighter to my Ahand.
Lean on Dme.A..... Gwhen your heart begins to Dbleed
when you Bm7come to the place F#m7that I'm all you have,
then you'll Cmfind I'm Aall you Dneed.A  A7  
[Outro]
D"Lean A7on DMe.A.... Gwhen you have no strength Dto stand.
When you Bm7feel you're goin' F#m7under, hold Cmtighter to my Ahand.
Lean on Dme.A..... Gwhen your heart begins to Dbleed
when you Bm7come to the place F#m7that I'm all you have,
then you'll Cmfind I'm Aall you Dneed.Bm7  
you'll Cmfind I'm aAll you Cmneed.D
