Holdin' My Own Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Always been [D]a fighter,
scrapper, [A]and a clawer
Used [G]up some luck in [A]law[D]yers
[G]Like Huck from Tom Saw[A]yer[D]
jumped on my [A]raft
And shoved off chas[D]ing my dreams
Reeling in big fishes
[A]I h[G]ad some hits[A], a f[D]ew big misses
[G]I gave 'em hell a[A]nd
got [D]a few stitches
[A]And these days, I show off my scars

[Verse 2]
[G]With one arm around my baby
[A]And[D] one arm around my boys
[G]A heart tha[Bm]t's still pretty cra[G]zy
[Bm]And a [D]head that hates the [A]noise
If the [G]world [A]comes knocking
[D]Tell 'em[A] I'm not[Bm] home[G]
I'm [A]finally holdin' [D]my own

[Verse 3]
[D]
I've burned up the fast [G]lane
Dodging drugs and [D]divor[G]ce
If I'm proof of any[D]thing
God sure loves [A]troubadours[D]
Sometimes, late at night
[G]I miss the smoke and[D] neon
[G]Sneak out of bed, grab a six [D]string
Play what's [A]still turnin' me on
Like that [D]tight old time rock and roll
Or that [G]right down home country gold
I miss [D]blues and soul
But [A]not more than I miss be[F#m]ing home
[D]

[Verse 4]
With [G]one arm around my baby
And [D]one arm around my boys
[G]A heart that's still pretty crazy
[D]And a head that got sick
of [A]noise
[G]If the world comes [A]knocking
[D]Wondering whe[A]re I've gon[Bm]e[G]
Tell 'em I'm hold[A]in' my own
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
Until I [D]run out [G]of time[Em]
I'm gonna [D]spend the
rest of mine
[G][A]

[Verse 6]
[G]One arm around my baby
[D]And one arm around my boys
[G]A heart that's still pretty crazy
And a head [D]just got sick of [A]noise
If the [G]world comes [A]knocking
[D]Tell 'em I'm[A] not home
[Bm]I'm [G]finally holdin' [A]my own
[D]

[Verse 7]
And [G]when my time on Earth [A]is done
I want they [D]write it [A]on my [Bm]stone
I [G]lived, loved,
[A]and died holdin' [D]my own[G]
I lived, loved, and [A]died holdin' my own

[Outro 1]
[D][A]
