[Verse 1]
G# (G# Riff)
Just because it feels right
Fm (G# Riff)
It doesn’t have to feel nice
C#
It shouldn’t feel so empty
A#m (G# Riff)
When there’s still me and you
[Verse 2]
G# (G# Riff)
Now that they have grown up
Fm (G# Riff)
Packed their bags and left us
C#
How I wish that we could hold them
A#m (G# Riff)
Hoping that we told them to stay true
[Chorus]
D#m F7 (F7 Riff)
Oh Hold on,
A#m C#m (C#m 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
Fm (G# Riff)
Do we really need to back track
C#
Every time that I fall down
A#m (G# Riff)
You’re the only one who’s always there
[Chorus]
D#m F7 (F7 Riff)
Oh Hold on,
A#m C#m (C#m Riff)
After all the things that we’ve been through
(G# Riff)
Hold On-----
[Chorus]
D#m F7 (F7 Riff)
Oh Hold on,
A#m C#m (C#m Riff) D#m (D#m 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
Gm
The teenage mother has a plan
Gm
Her child has now become a man
D#
You stop you look you try to find
F A#
Then you’ll finally realise----
A#
And when your dreams they turn out real
A#
What you touch is what you feel
Gm
When all your demons go away
Gm
You fight to live another day
D#
And though the things you didn’t try
F A#
Then you finally realise---
[Outro]
Fm G7
Oh Hold on,
Cm D#m (D#m Riff)
It always just comes back to me and you
(A# Riff) F
Hold On
F A#
Hold On-----
(A# Riff) (A# Riff) x3
Hold On
