intro :

C F C G7 C
we’re holding on with nothing left to hold on to

F C
i’m so tired of holding on to nothing
F
the years have shown no kindness
C G7
for the hard times we’ve been through
C F
we’ve squeezed the life from every dream
C
and still go right on bluffing
F C G7 C
with really nothing left to hold on to

F
oh why do we keep holding on
C
with nothing left to hold on to
F
let’s be honest with each other
C G7
that’s the least that we can do
C F C
i feel guilty when they envy me and you
F C G7 C
we’re holding on with nothing left to hold on to

F C
we were young and foolishly mistaken
F C G7
victims of a passion much too strong to be denied
C F C
with only tears to show for all the years that we’ve been faking
F C G7 C
god only knows how long how hard we’ve tried
