[Verse 1]
D5    Dm7  Am7/D  Dm11  Am7/D  D5
I was born

                    Dm7  Am7/D  Dm11  Am7/D  D5
Riding atop a black horse

                     Dm7  Am7/D  Dm11  Am7/D  D5
Whatever prize there was

                    Dm7  Am7/D  Dm11  Am7/D  D5
Oh, he could only observe

                       Cadd9   Bm/D Bb6/D Dsus2 A/D
It's where the trouble starts

                  Cadd9   Bm/D Bb6/D Dsus2 A/D
Oh, where does it end

                Cadd9   Bm/D Bb6/D Dsus2 A/D
Oh, how could life be through

              D5
Before it ends
[Chorus]
Bbmaj7/D Bb/Eb C/F           F5                  Eb5      D5
I-i      know  life would be different if I held on, held on

Bbmaj7/D Bb/Eb C/F        F5                  Eb5      D5
I-i      know  I could be something if I held on, held on

[Verse 2]
D5       Dm7     Am7/D Dm11 Am7/D D5
Gave her heart away

                                               Dm7    Am7/D  Dm11  Am7/D  D5
I put it in my pocket when it should have been framed

         Dm7    Am7/D  Dm11
Lost its shine

Am7/D     D5                          Dm7    Am7/D  Dm11  Am7/D
Put it to rest, and put it out of his head

D5         Cadd9  Bm/D  Bb6/D  Dsus2  A/D
Out of his bed

                 Cadd9  Bm/D  Bb6/D  Dsus2  A/D
Oh, how could it end

       Cadd9 Bm/D  Bb6/D  Dsus2  A/D
Oh, end like this

               D5
How could it end
[Chorus]
Bbmaj7/D Bb/Eb C/F           F5                  Eb5      D5
I-i      know  life would be different if I held on, held on

Bbmaj7/D Bb/Eb C/F        F5                  Eb5      D5
I-i      know  I could be something if I held on, held on

Bbmaj7/D Bb/Eb C/F        F5                  Eb5      D5
I-i      know  I could be something if I held on, held on

F5       G5                           F5       G5
I-i know life would be different if I held on, held on
[Outro]
     F5       G5
If I held on, held on

     F5       G5
If I held on, held on

     F5       G5
If I held on, held on

     F5       G5
If I held on, held on

     F5       G5
If I held on, held on
