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