[Am] [C] [F] [E] x3
[VERSE]
[E]How many [Am]times[C] [F]
[E]Have I been here [Am]before?[C] [F] [E]
[Am]Like a worn away[C] piece of the night [F] [E]
[E]Waiting for the [Am]dawn[C] [F] [E]
[Dm]Daylight breaks
[Am]And the dream is gone [F]
[F]Leaving me to [E]stay
But [Am]I'm still holding on [C] [F] [E]
I'm sti[Am]ll holding on [C] [F] [E] | x3
[E]Still holding [Am]on

Am x4
[VERSE]
I [Am]used to [C]think I knew [F]

[Am]You move in, [C]fast and hard[F]
And [E]you make your own [Am]luck[C] [F] [E]
[Dm]Daylight breaks
[Am]And the dream is gone [F]
[F]Leaving me to [E]stay

[E] [Am] [E] [Am] [Dm] [Am] [F] [E]
[VERSE]
I [Am]see it [C]better now [F]
Smell the [E]tears upon this t[Am]racks [C] [F] [E]
[Am]It's a long long way before [C]it's over [F]
[E]And what you give out [Am]
Is what you get back [C] [F] [E]
[Dm]The easy way out
[Am]It will bite you hard someday [F]
[F]You see me smile and learn
[E]I find a better way
But [Am]I'm still holding on [C] [F] [E]
I'm sti[Am]ll holding on [C] [F] [E] | x3
[E]Still holding [Am]on
