Em9 A
Holding back the years
Em9 A
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
Em9 A
When somebody hears
Em9 A
Listen to the fear that's gone
Wrangled by the wishes of fater
Open for the arms of mater
Get to me but sooner or later
Holding back the years
Chance for me escape from all I'm gone
Holding back the tears
'Cause nothing here is wrong
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
Nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could, yeah, oh, well
Em7 A
I'll keep holding on
Em7 A
I'll keep holding on
Em7 A
I'll keep holding on
Em7 A
I'll keep holding on, there's still time
Well I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
'Cause nothing ever could, oh, oh
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Holding, holding, holding ah la la la
I say ooh yeah
That's all I have today
It's all I have to say
