Misc Originals – Anna Gaddie - Holding On (Guitar)

F#m      C#m            E                      F#m
I try to keep my dreams real, looking straight ahead

F#m        C#m             E               F#m
I’m losing sleep, fighting hard, holding my breath

F#m        C#m             E          F#m
There is a weight pressing down on my chest

F#m            C#m           E                 F#m
Try to lift it up, to get it out, but there it rests

        F#m                    D
It’s a straight down spiral to hell I’m afraid

  A                                      E
Cause when you deal with the devil, he’s gotta get paid

F#m                             D
And when your heart runs out of happiness

A                             E
You will pray for the days of ignorant bliss

F#m               A                        D
Holding on to the dreams I’ve lost, to the people gone

       A
To the things I’ve let go

F#m                  A                       D
Raise a glass to the moments passed, growing up to fast

A
While it feels to slow

F#m            C#m       E             F#m
When all you’re doing, is trying to get by

F#m             C#m      E          F#m
When all you’re doing is waiting to die

F#m          C#m           E                     F#m
Keep my feet still, on the ground  one step at a time

F#m           C#             E              F#m
Take a single breath, in and out, you’ll be alright

F#m      C#m          E                 F#m
Put on a face, fake a smile, don’t look down

F#m        C#m             E                F#m
Steady yourself, open your eyes, try not to drown

       F#m             D
It’s a constant day of stormy clouds

    A                E
And empty heats, and broken vows

     F#m         D
When everyone is on cloud nine

     A                      E
Just cling to the hope that you’ll be fine

F#m               A                        D
Holding on to the dreams I’ve lost, to the people gone

       A
To the things I’ve let go

F#m                  A                       D
Raise a glass to the moments passed, growing up too fast

        A
While it all feels too slow

F#m             C#m          E            F#m
When all you’re doin is just trying to get by

F#m             C#m           E          F#m
When all you’re doing is just waiting to die

    F#m           A          D             A
And everything is broken and everything is wrong

    F#m              A            D                 A
And everything would be okay, you just need to move on

F#m                            D
It’s a straight down spiral to hell I’m afraid

               A                        E
Cause when you deal with the devil he’s gotta get paid

             F#m                D
And when your heart runs out of happiness

         A                    E
You will pray for the days of ignorant bliss
