[Intro] G D Em Bm Am7 Dsus4 G [Verse 1]
G             C                Am7   D
Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh

Bm                   Em            C              Eb
And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds

G                  C                 Am7  D
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on

    Bm                       Em    C              Fadd9
But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God
[Chorus 1]
           G      D    Em   Bm    C   Dsus4  G
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round

 G      D   Em    Bm     C   Dsus4 G
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round

G                  C      Am7                 D
There's people around who tell you that they know

    Bm                     Em    C               Eb
And places where they send you and it's easy to go

G                       C                  Am7           D
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row

    Bm                     Em    C                  Fadd9
But you know you don't have to, you can just say, "No"
[Chorus 1]
          G     D    Em    Bm    C   Dsus4   G
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round

G       D   Em    Bm     C   Dsus4  G
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round

          G     D    Em    Bm    C   Dsus4   G
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round

G       D   Em    Bm     C   Dsus4  G
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
[Bridge]
     Am                     C   G/B
I've been built up and trusted,

Am                 C
Broke down and busted

Am              G/B        C             Am
But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours if we can

Em        Am  D    G
Just hold on, hold on

Em   Am  D    G
Hold on, hold on
[Verse 1]
G             C                 Am7   D
Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh

Bm                     Em C               Eb
And I've been trying hard against strong odds

G                  C                  Am7  D
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on

           Bm                Em
Well, I'll fall if I don't fight

C                  Fadd9
And at my side is God
[Chorus 1]
           G    D    Em   Bm     C   Dsus4   G
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round

G       D   Em    Bm     C  Dsus4  G
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round

          G     D    Em   Bm     C   Dsus4   G
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round

G       D   Em    Bm     C  Dsus4  G
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
[Outro]
Em   Am  D    G
Hold on, hold on

Em   Am  D    G
Hold on, hold on
