Holdin On


Intro Base Guitar : C G Em D C G Em D I was young, Id seen it all. A cemetery in the middle of a super mall. C G Em D I went to school. I never learned. How it feels, how everything you love can burn. C G Em D And it never stops. Its all I got. And I never know when to turn. C G Em D Like a merry-go-round it all comes around again. [CORO] C G Em D And I dont know why I'm here, I dont know where Ill go C G Em D If I dont give it time, how could this garden grow? C G B Em I dont know what I've lost, and I dont know how to get it back D Am But Im holdin' on D Im holdin on, for as long as I can" ---- REPEAT INTRO -------- C G Em D I moved away, I quit the band. I saw it comin it was written on the back of my hand. C G Em D Every day. I could feel. Something' missin' I went home to get a record deal. C G Em D And my mother said, your theirs to your dead, to them its just another meal. C G Em D Now I'm fat with regret. Im placin' my bet on me. ------- REPEAT [CORO] --------- A7m (x02010) Cadd9 (x320xx) B7m (x24232) A7m B7m It's not over yet, no, it's not even close Cadd9 B7m My heart is younger, stronger than 100 cowards in a row A7m B7m And all my curiosity will keep me asking, "What went wrong?
