Hand in hand

F  Am  G  .    | G7 |  F  Am  G  . | F
F  Am  G  .    | G7 | G    | F  .  G  .

Am                                         G
    On every screen I see people stand, so close
Am                                             G
    Each with someone to love, with someone to boast
     C
As I sit now
        C/B
I can’t see how
  F/A               G
A man can stand up alone
    F      G        Am/F   G
And so the question comes again
 

C               F/A         F  Am  G
 All round me I look, I see people stand
 C/G             Dm/A            F  Am   G
 Arms round each other, they are holding hands
 C                 Finv/A            F Am G
 There’s something happening I don’t understand
 C/G         Dm/A        F    Am G
 Why is this world going hand in hand?

For so long now, I’ve been searching for a friend
A life to share, one to make me live again
Somewhere out there
Someone must care
But until then the search goes on
And still the question must remain

(C   C/B   Am   Am/G   F   G   C   G) x 2

Will this ever be more than just a dream
There could be years when I still remain unseen
Could be next day
I have no say
For dreams have no feel for time
    F        G
For now, the question
    Am/F    G
For now the question
    F       G        Am/F      G
For now the question stays the same
    G                  A
The question stays the same
 

D               G/B         G  Bm  A
 All round me I look, I see people stand
 D/A             Em/B            G  Bm   Am
 Arms round each other, they are holding hands
 D                 G/B               G Bm A
 There’s something happening I don’t understand
 D/A         Em/B        G    Bm A
 Why is this world going hand in hand?
