[Intro 1]
[G][Esus4][Em][G][Esus4]
[G][Esus4][Em][G][Esus4]
[Em][G][Esus4]
Used to live in [Em]the danger

[Verse 1]
[Esus4]zone
[Em]Any day it could get[Esus4]
too [Em]rough[G][Esus4]
Now I'm glad I kept holding [Em]on
Now [G]I'm [Em]glad I had soul[Esus4]
enough
[Em][G][Asus4]

[Verse 2]
You turned night into [Em]day
[A]And showed me how my soul
could [Em]sing[Asus4]
You took my hurt [G]away
And showed me [A]love conquers
[Asus4]anything[A][B]

[Verse 3]
When two hearts both [Bsus4]feel the same
[B]There's a way to[Bsus4]
beat the [Em]game

[Verse 4]
[G]Holding [D]on,
[A]now[D] I'm standing in the light
[G]Holding [D]on, [A]and[D] this time
I got it [Em]right
[G]Holding [D]on,
[A]eve[D]ry day and every nig[Bm]ht
[G]Holding [D]on, hol[Bm]d[A]
[Em]on[G][Asus4][Esus4]

[Verse 5]
Fall asleep in your [Esus4]lover's arms
[Em]And it's just like[Esus4] it ought to
[Em]be[G][Asus4][Esus4]
Just be thankful she keeps you warm
[Em]In a world where[Esus4] there's
nothing free
[Em][G]

[Verse 6]
[Asus4]
Give her love every [Em]day
And [Asus4]pay attenti[A]on when
she [Asus4]dreams
And she'll be good to [G]you
[Asus4]'Cause sometimes love is[A]
just what it [B]seems

[Verse 7]
When two hearts both
[Bsus4]feel the same
[B]There's a way to [Bsus4]beat
the [Em]game

[Verse 8]
[G]Holding [D]on,
[A]now[D] I'm standing in the light
[G]Holding [D]on,
and this time I got it [G]right
Holding [D]on, every day and every night
[G]Holding [D]on, hol[Bm]d[A]
[Em]on

[Verse 9]
[C]See the [G]mountain water
Keeps [D]flowing down into [C]streams
Now it [G]holds on [D]forever[C]
We'll be [Am]holding on [G]forever, forever
[Em][F][C][G][A]

[Verse 10]
[Esus4]People
soul searching all night long
[Em]For a reason to help them
[G]live[Asus4][Esus4]
And I do hope they hear [Em]the song
[G]Tak[Em]e and[Esus4] you get to give
[Em][G]

[Verse 11]
[Asus4]
It can be in a smile
It [G]can [A]be there in a [Em]touch[Asus4]
It warms the world [Em]a while[D]
When it's [A]love it can't be
too [Em]much[A][Em][B]

[Verse 12]
When two hearts both [Bsus4]feel the same
[B]There's a way to bea[Bsus4]t
the [Em]game

[Verse 13]
[G]Holding [D]on,
now I'm standing in the light
[G]Holding [D]on,
and this time I got it [Em]right
[G]Holding [D]on, every day and every night
[G]Holding [D]on, hol[Bm]d on
[A]

[Verse 14]
[Esus4]
[G]Holding on,
