[Intro] E G C A C D [Verse 1]
E               C                 A
  You sang your swan song to the dogs

                 C                 G                          E
‘Cause they made mince meat of the dreams you hung your hopes on

                C                    A
So you count it out, well your sins cost

            C                         G                       E
While money talks to your conscience, looking like a fool for love
[Chorus 1] E C A C G
E      C           G
  Dear life, I’m holding on

E      C           G     A  D#      F
  Dear life, I’m holding on,  ah-ah ah-ah ah

E     C          G
  How long must I wait

E   C         G        A    D#      F
  Before the thrill is gone,  ah-ah ah-ah ah
[Interlude 1] E C G E C G A D# F E C G E C G A D# F [Verse 2]
E                C               A
  You drove your Rolls into the swamp

           C                G                         E
You stole away like a thief reeling from the sticker shock

                  C              A
Of the price they put upon your soul

           C                      G                      E
You buy it back from the burning ashes of the devil you know
[Chorus 2] E C A C G
E      C           G
  Dear life, I’m holding on

E      C           G     A  D#      F
  Dear life, I’m holding on,  ah-ah ah-ah ah

E     C          G
  How long must I wait

E   C         G        A    D#      F
  Before the thrill is gone,  ah-ah ah-ah ah
[Bridge] E C G E C G
E                          C 
  Dear life, come and pick me up

                            G
  Dear life, I think the button’s stuck

E                              C 
  Dear life, I think it’s gone too far

                              G
  Dear life, please lower the bar, lower than the stars
[Chorus 3]
E      C           G
  Dear life, I’m holding on

E      C           G     A  D#      F
  Dear life, I’m holding on,  ah-ah ah-ah ah

E     C          G
  How long must I wait

E   C         G        A    D#      F
  Before the thrill is gone,  ah-ah ah-ah ah
[Interlude 2] E C G E C G A D# F E C G E C G A D# F [Outro]

La-la-la,  la-la la-la
