Dm        C
Searching through snow

For the javelin I had not

Meant to throw right at you
Gm          A
For if it had hit its mark

There’d be blood in the place
     Gm
Where you stood

To have and hold

So here we stand in the dark

My eyes travelling to the spot

Where you'd thrown yourself
     G7  Gm
Over the rocks
             A
For if you'd not been so fast
      Bb      F
There'd be blood in the place
     Bb
Where you stood


🎸 Chorus:
        F
It's a terrible thought
  C    G
To have and hold

It's a terrible thought

To have and hold
