[Verse 1]

Gm       Dm7         Ebmaj7

Weight of love on my shoulders

Gm            Dm7            Ebmaj7

I thought that it would be easier than this

Gm        Dm7                Ebmaj7

I found my heart had grown colder

Gm        Dm7           Ebmaj7

   But the warmth of your kiss, I can't dismiss



[Bridge]

           Gm       Dm7          Ebmaj7

Though my past has left me bruised

         Gm      Dm7        Ebmaj7

I ain't hiding from the truth

            Gm         Dm7     Ebmaj7              C7

When the truth won't let me lie right next to you



[Chorus]

          Bb

But it's holding on

           Gm

And it's holding strong

      Eb

Even though I tried to make it

           F

Played the part, but I can't fake it

          Bb

It keeps holding on

           Gm

And it's holding strong

      Eb

Even though I tried to break it

         F

Heaven knows that I can't shake it



[Bridge]

     Gm Dm7    Ebmaj7

It's holding on

          Gm Dm7    Ebmaj7

It keeps holding on

     Gm Dm7    Ebmaj7

It's holding on

          Gm Dm7    Ebmaj7

It keeps holding on



[Verse 2]

Gm         Dm7               Ebmaj7

   I've seen times that were harder

Gm         Dm7         Ebmaj7

    I remember the taste of bitterness

Gm         Dm7               Ebmaj7

    Won't you help me, my father?

Gm         Dm7             Ebmaj7

   Help me fall in the love that I have missed



[Bridge]

           Gm       Dm7          Ebmaj7

Though my past has left me bruised

         Gm      Dm7        Ebmaj7

I ain't hiding from the truth

            Gm         Dm7     Ebmaj7              C7

When the truth won't let me lie right next to you



[Chorus]

          Bb

But it's holding on

           Gm

And it's holding strong

      Eb

Even though I tried to make it

           F

Played the part, but I can't fake it

          Bb

It keeps holding on

           Gm

And it's holding strong

      Eb

Even though I tried to break it

         F

Heaven knows that I can't shake it



[Bridge]

     Gm Dm7    Ebmaj7

It's holding on

          Gm Dm7    Ebmaj7

It keeps holding on

     Gm Dm7    Ebmaj7

It's holding on

          Gm Dm7    Ebmaj7

It keeps holding on
