Holdin On Tab

Intro : C G Em D

                  C       G                 Em                            D
I was young, Id seen it all. A cemetery in the middle of a super mall.
I went to school. I never learned. How it feels, how everything you love can burn.
And it never stops. Its all I got. And I never know when to turn.
Like a merry-go-round it all comes around again.

                  C        G                 Em        D
And I dont know why I'm here, I dont know where Ill go
                  C      G                     Em     D
cause if I dont give it time, how could this garden grow?
             C         G                                B                          Em
I dont know what Ive lost, and I dont know how to get it back
                Am
But Im holdin' on
           D
Im holdin on, for as long as I can"

I moved away, I quit the band. I saw it comin it was written on the back of my hand.
Every day. I could feel. Something' missin' I went home to get a record deal."
And my mother said, your theirs to your dead, to them its just another meal.
Now I'm fat with regret. Im placin' my bet on me."

A7m                      B7m
It's not over yet, no, it's not even close
             A7m                 B7m
My heart is younger, stronger than 100 cowards in a row
              A7m                      B7m
And all my curiosity will keep me asking, "What went wrong?
               A7m   
When it's all done, when it's gone,
                                 B
No, it won't be long 'til I'm traveling back in time
To a place when I was mine
