Holding On

Capo: 2nd fret

[Verse 1]
C                       D
Relive the night we met
              Bm       C                             D      Bm     C
Your eyes glancing past to the girl who’s standing right beside me
                         D       Bm           C
You reached past my hand, asked her to dance
                           D          Bm     C
But I remember when you touched my shoulder
                      D           Bm        C
You smiled right at me and just said sorry
                         D      Bm    C
I had a feeling that was unfamiliar
                    D           Bm          C
When you walked away, I wanted you to stay
               D      Bm
Never got you off my mind
 
[Chorus]
      Em              C
So I hold on to an endless string of nothingness
     G                              Bm
that I pretend is real when you’re around
      Em             C
So I hold on, tryna wrap you round my finger
           G                             Bm
and then every time I get too close you cry
                   C
but I keep holding on
   D     Bm       C
I keep holding on
   D     Bm       C
I keep holding on
   D     Bm       C  D  Bm
I keep holding on
 
[Verse 2]
C                 D              Bm        C
And on that floor, it’s likе we met beforе
                         D     Bm     C
I had a feeling that was so peculiar
                           D                Bm            C
When your hand brushed mine, it’s like we stopped in time
                        D   Bm
Wanted you right by my side
 
[Chorus]
      Em              C
So I hold on to an endless string of nothingness
     G                              Bm
that I pretend is real when you’re around
      Em             C
So I hold on, tryna wrap you round my finger
           G                             Bm
and then every time I get too close you cry
                   C
but I keep holding on
   D     Bm       C
I keep holding on
   D     Bm       C
I keep holding on
   D     Bm       C  D  Bm
I keep holding on
 
[Bridge]
C                D     Bm           C
Relive the moment when we first met
                     D      Bm               C
I shouldn’t go there but I won’t regret my heartache
       D    Bm        C       D  Bm
While she takes you, I’ll wait
 
[Chorus]
      Em              C
So I hold on to an endless string of nothingness
     G                              Bm
that I pretend is real when you’re around
      Em             C
So I hold on, tryna wrap you round my finger
           G                             Bm
and then every time I get too close you cry
                   Em
but I keep holding on
   C              G
I keep holding on
   Bm             Em
I keep holding on
   C              G   Bm  Em
I keep holding on
