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