thinking of the fear I've had so long,

 Em9          A
When somebody hears,

Em9            A
listen to the fear that's gone,

 Em9             A
Strangled by the wishes of pater,

 Em9           A
hoping for the arms of mater

 Em9  A                      A
Get to me the sooner or later
Em9 A x2 [Verse 2]
 Em9               A
Holding back the years,

Em9             A
chance for me to escape from all I've known

Em9               A
Holding back the tears,

Em9               A          A
cause nothing here has grown

 Em9               A
I've wasted all my tears,

 Em9
wasted all Athose years

 Em9                A
And nothing had the chance to be good,

Em9          A
nothing ever could yeah whoa

I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on

So tight  oh now

 Em9               A
Well I've wasted all my tears,

wasted all Athose years

And nothing had the chance to be good,

Em9          A
nothing ever could yeah whoa
