C
Fearful child, have faith in brighter days
F
Stay until this darkness fades away
C
Lie still beside me
     F                           C        G
I’ll hold you now, I’ll hold you forever
C
Winter's hand will freeze your heart again
F
Doors will close, no time to start again 
C                 F
Nothing is given, except the ties that hold us together 
Am            F
Lay down your load
        Am                     F
Because everyday it’s going to grow
    C
And bask in the sunshine
        F                  G             C
Try to pay no mind, try to pay no mind at all
           G
To all the things that you don’t know
           F
You’ve got time to realise
                                C
You’re shielded by the hands of love
                G
Because you are young 
C
Fading light may make a fool of me
F
Courage fail, strength slip away from me
C
Lie still beside me
F
And hold me now and hold me forever
Am            F
Lay down your load
Am                          F
Because everyday it’s gonna grow
C
If these days are sacred
        F                     G                         C
Hey now don’t be scared, baby don’t be scared at all
           G
Of all the things that you don’t know 
           F
You’ve got time to realise
                                C
You’re shielded by the hands of love
              G
Cause you are young 
           F
You’ve got time you’ve got to try
                             C
To bring some good into this world
                G
Because you are young 
                C
Because you are young 
         F
Oh oh oh woah
        C
Oh woah oh
         F
Oh oh oh woah
        C
Oh woah oh
         F
Oh oh oh woah
        C
Oh woah oh
Because you are young
