[Verse 1]
G (G Riff)
Just because it feels right
Em (G Riff)
It doesn’t have to feel nice
C
It shouldn’t feel so empty
Am (G Riff)
When there’s still me and you
[Verse 2]
G (G Riff)
Now that they have grown up
Em (G Riff)
Packed their bags and left us
C
How I wish that we could hold them
Am (G Riff)
Hoping that we told them to stay true
[Chorus]
Dm E7 (E7 Riff)
Oh Hold on,
Am Cm (Cm Riff)
After all the things that we’ve been through
(G Riff)
Hold On
D
Hold On
[Verse 3]
G (G Riff)
Every-time we look back
Em (G Riff)
Do we really need to back track
C
Every time that I fall down
Am (G Riff)
You’re the only one who’s always there
[Chorus]
Dm E7 (E7 Riff)
Oh Hold on,
Am Cm (Cm Riff)
After all the things that we’ve been through
(G Riff)
Hold On-----
[Chorus]
Dm E7 (E7 Riff)
Oh Hold on,
Am Cm (Cm Riff) Dm (Dm Riff)
It always just comes back to me and you
[Bridge]
A
These are the hands of a tired man
A
I lost my shroud and here I stand
F#m
The teenage mother has a plan
F#m
Her child has now become a man
D
You stop you look you try to find
E A
Then you’ll finally realise----
A
And when your dreams they turn out real
A
What you touch is what you feel
F#m
When all your demons go away
F#m
You fight to live another day
D
And though the things you didn’t try
E A
Then you finally realise---
[Outro]
Em F#7
Oh Hold on,
Bm Dm (Dm Riff)
It always just comes back to me and you
(A Riff) E
Hold On
E A
Hold On-----
(A Riff) (A Riff) x3
Hold On
