Chords
Holdin' On

Key: C

Introduction:

 C                               G 
Cigarettes and a lighter,
 C                                         G 
Lonely woman swinging door,
 C                                   G 
Broken pieces of a broken love affair,
     C                                                 D 
I guess we've seen all that before.
 C                                                 G 
Tonight she stares to the darkness,
 C                                           G 
Welcomes it back home again.
 C                                                           G 
She'll cry every night til the day that she dies
       Am                                   C           D                 G 
If she don't find out how to let love in.
 C                   D               G 
I need somebody to save me,
 C                 D                         G 
I need to learn how to fly.
     C                       D                             G 
A walk on the clouds with the angels,
 C                             D         G 
Laugh when the devil cries.
 C                       D             G 
I've got to take my chances,
 C                 D                 G                               C                     D 
Spend my nights in wild romances and hold on to what's
 Am           D         G 
Holdin' on to me.
Repeat 1/2 Intro
 C                                         G 
Now doesn't this all seem familiar,
           C                                         G 
You said I took the words from your mouth.
 C                                       G 
Maybe if we sit and talk for awhile,
 C                                                 D 
We just might work it all out.
                   C                                     G 
And the hardest thing about leavin' is
 C                                                     G 
Knowing when a friend is a friend.
     C                                             G 
A couple more drinks and I'll be on my way,
 Am                                   C                       D       G 
Sleeping and down, safe in your arms again.
Repeat Chorus
