Verse
D
So you flung your fist high in the air
G
But the world remained the same
A
And all the demonstrations
F#m7 Bm
Filtered out through graduation
G
And the times that were a changing
A
Never changed
D
Freedom takes on new meaning
G
When you have a family of five
A F#m7 Bm
And peace and revolution dissolved in its own solution
G
When you're fighting for your life
A
Just to survive
[Chorus]
NC
It's then you've gotta
G D G D
Hold on - for what you believe in
G D A
Hold on - don't let it fade
NC
Still you've gotta
G D G D
Be strong - find yourself a reason
G A
You never change the world
F#m7 Bm
But just the same
G
You've gotta hold on stronger
A G D
Each and every day, ya
[Verse 2]
D
When the night creeps in so hollow
G
When the silence makes you scream
A
When you're so damned scared of failure
F#m7 Bm
When the world's burned out it's saviors
G A
When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream
[Chorus]
NC
It's then you've gotta
G D G D
Hold on - for what you believe in
G D A
Hold on - don't let it fade
NC (Or D)
Still you've gotta
G D G D
Be strong - find yourself a reason

No-one changed the world

But just the same

You've gotta hold on to yourself

Or else you'll fade
[Outro]

Or else you'll fade

Or else you'll fade

Or else you'll fade
