Chords

The strumming pattern doesn't match the original song (didn't tab the rythm part out yet), but it should be fine for just playing along. The meter is 2/4 at ~78 bpm, atleast until the bridge. [Intro] Am C F E x3 [Verse]
E        Am   C F
How many times

E                Am     C F E
Have I been here before?

Am              C                   F E
Like a worn away piece of the night

E               Am  C F E
Waiting for the dawn

Dm
Daylight breaks

Am                    F
And the dream is gone

F             E
Leaving me to stay

    Am                   C F E
But I'm still holding on

       Am            C F E
I'm still holding on           | x3

E             Am
Still holding on
[Bridge] (Palmmute and crescendo) Am x4 [Verse]
  Am      C            F
I used to think I knew

E                       Am C F E
Just exactly what I took

Am           C            F
You move in, fast and hard

    E                 Am  C F E
And you make your own luck

Dm
Daylight breaks

Am                    F
And the dream is gone

F             E
Leaving me to stay

    Am                   C F E
But I'm still holding on

       Am            C F E
I'm still holding on           | x3

E             Am
Still holding on
[Bridge] (Palmmute and crescendo) Am x4 [Instrumental] Strum each cord for 8 1/8 notes, sounds best with only down strums E Am E Am Dm Am F E [Verse]
  Am     C          F
I see it better now

          E                Am    C F E
Smell the tears upon this tracks

Am                          C         F
It's a long long way before it's over

E                     Am
And what you give out

                     C F E
Is what you get back

Dm
The easy way out

Am                            F
It will bite you hard someday

F
You see me smile and learn

E
I find a better way

    Am                   C F E
But I'm still holding on

       Am            C F E
I'm still holding on           | x3

E             Am
Still holding on
[Outro]
    Am                   C F E
But I'm still holding on

       Am            C F E
I'm still holding on           | x3

E             Am
Still holding on
