Acoustic version from SiriusXM: It skips the bridge in the version but I added it down below: When playing the A at the end of each verse line hammer/pull the D note (B string third fret) [Intro] Bm G A Bm G A [Verse 1]
Bm                                           G                   A
Girl take a seat, rest your weary bones, the secret's safe in my hands

Bm                                              G                       A
Tell me 'bout the years and let me buy an hour, maybe help me to understand

Bm                                            Em                      F#
Oh. ain't nobody calling, ain't nobody home, what a lovely day to be lonely...
[Chorus]
                       Bm                                              G    A
You're holding on for life, holding on for life, you're holding on for love...

                       Bm                                              G    A
You're holding on for life, holding on for life, you're holding on for love...
Bm G A Bm G A [Verse 2]
Bm                                            G                              A
Light another cigarette, burning in the cold, waiting on the street for your man

Bm                                                    G                              A
You're trying not to look so young and miserable, you gotta get your kicks while you can

Bm                                              Em                       F#
And in the lighter corner, sitting on your own, what a lovely day to be lonely...
[Chorus]
                       Bm                                              G    A
You're holding on for life, holding on for life, you're holding on for love...

                       Bm                                              G    A
You're holding on for life, holding on for life, you're holding on for love...
[Bridge]
Em                                Cmaj7           G             A
Well you might belong, to another time, still you have to carry on here

Em                               Cmaj7           G               A
No where else to go and you never know, what to hide and what to show, no
Bm Em F# Bm Em F# [Chorus]
                       Bm                                              G    A
You're holding on for life, holding on for life, you're holding on for love...

                       Bm                                              G    A
You're holding on for life, holding on for life, you're holding on for love...
