HOLD ON

[intro] G   C   G   C   G  C   D   (x2)

               G                  C              G                  D
As I stepped to the edge of a shadow of a doubt

G               C              G   D
With my conscience beating

               G               C               G                      D
Like the pulse of a drum that hammers on and on

             C              D           G
Until I reach the break of day

                               C                G          D
As the sun beats down on the halfway house

G           C                G   D
has my conscience beating

       G                     C        G                D
The sound in my ear the will to persevere

           C            D           G
As I reach the break of day

[chorus]
G                            Em              G
When you lost all hope and excuses

                 D                             G
And the cheapskates and the losers

                  Em             G
Nothing's left to cling onto

                    C     D            G
You got to hold on to yourself

[verse2]
   G             C         G         D
A cry of hope, a plea for peace

G               C              G   D
And my conscience beating

      G                   C               G             D
It's not what I want for it's all that I need

      C             D            G
To reach the break of day

          G             C                G                  D
So I run to the edge of the shadow of a doubt

G               C              G     D
With my conscience bleeding

G                       C                 G                        D
Here lies the truth the lost treasures of my youth

                   C            D          G
As I hold on to the break of day

[chorus]
[guitar break] G C    G C    G C D

[chorus]

G                           Em              G
When you lost all hope and excuses

                D                              G
And the cheapskates and the losers

                 Em               G
Nothing's left to cling onto

                    C     D   C     D   C      D           G
You got to hold on, hold on, hold onto yourself
