Verse
F
So you flung your fist high in the air
A#
But the world remained the same
C
And all the demonstrations
Am7 Dm
Filtered out through graduation
A#
And the times that were a changing
C
Never changed
F
Freedom takes on new meaning
A#
When you have a family of five
C Am7 Dm
And peace and revolution dissolved in its own solution
A#
When you're fighting for your life
C
Just to survive
[Chorus]

It's then you've gotta
A# F A# F
Hold on - for what you believe in
A# F C
Hold on - don't let it fade
NC
Still you've gotta
A# F A# F
Be strong - find yourself a reason
A# C
You never change the world
Am7 Dm
But just the same
A#
You've gotta hold on stronger
C A# F
Each and every day, ya
[Verse 2]
F
When the night creeps in so hollow
A#
When the silence makes you scream
C
When you're so damned scared of failure

When the world's burned out it's saviors
A# C
When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream
[Chorus]

It's then you've gotta

Or else you'll fade
