(Intro.)
|(Am) / (C) / |(G) / (Am) / |(Am) / (C) / |(G) / (Am) / |
 
(Verse)
I donft (Am)raise my voice (Am)to prove I'm strong I let the (Am)silence carry (Am)on
Ifve seen (Am)storms erase (C)the light, Ifve stood a-(G)wake through end-(Am)less nights
Ifve watched (Am)brave hearts turn (C)away, heard proud (G)words begin (Am) to fade
But when the (Am)ground starts giv-(C)ing in, thatfs the (G)moment I step (Am) in

(Pre-Chorus)
When the pressure (Am)climbs
When the shadows (C)grow
When the road a-(G)head
Is the one un(Am)known
I donft run (Am) (G)
I donft hide (C) (Am)

(Chorus)
When I (Am)hold the (C)line
I donft (G)move (Am)
When the (Am)world falls (C)down
I stand (G)through (Am)
When it (Am)breaks
When it (C)bends
Ifll be (G)there
At the (Am)end
When the night gets (Am)wild
When the fear runs (C)high
You can (G)lean on me
I wonft (Am)slide
When I (F) hold (G) the line (Am)
Youfre (Am)safe

(Verse)
Ifve carried (Am)weight that no one (C)saw, held the (G)truth without (Am)applause
Every (Am)scar I learned to (C)bear, turned to (G)armor standing (Am)there
Some will (Am)leave when hope runs (C) thin, some will (G)fold before the (Am)wind
But when (Am)everything gives (C)way, thatfs the (G)price I choose to pay (Am)

(Pre-Chorus)
When the voices (Am)say, itfs too (Am)much to take
When the (G)weakest walls (Am)start to shake
I donft (Am)run, (C) I donft (G)bend

(Chorus)
When I (Am)hold the (C) line, I donft (G)move (Am)
When the (Am)world falls (C) down, I stand (G)through (Am)
When it (Am)breaks, when it (C)bends
Ifll be (G)there at the (Am)end
When the night gets (Am)wild, when the fear (G)runs high
You can (G)lean on me, I wonft (Am)slide
When I (F) hold (G) the line, (Am) youfre (Am)safe

(Bridge)
You donft need a (Dm)louder man, you need steady hands
Someone (F)who will stay, when nobody can
The (Am)storm donft scare me
(G) It shows who I am

(Chorus)
When I (Am)hold the line, (C) I won't (G)fall (Am)
When the (Am)weight comes (C)down, I take it (G)all (Am)
When itfs (Am)dark, when it (C)aches
You can (G)breathe, I wonft (Am)break
When the (Am)world turns cold
When the (C)sky wonft shine
You can (G) stand (Am)with me (F)
When I hold (Am) the (C) line (G) (Am)
You're (Am) safe (C) (G) (Am)

(Outro.)
When I hold (Am) (C) (G) (Am)
When I (Am)hold (C)the line (G) (Am)
I donft (Am)raise my voice (G)to prove I'm (Am)strong - - - - -
