C
Hey, don't worry, I've been lied to

C
I've been here many times before

                F
Girl, don't you worry, I know where I stand

                  C                       G
I don't need this love, I don't need your hand

               F
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone

                  G                       G7
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on
[Chorus]
     F                   G
But (minute by minute by minute by minute)

               C
I keep holdin' on

     F                   G
Oh, (minute by minute by minute by minute)

               C
I keep holdin' on
[Verse 2] F
C
You will stay just to watch me, darlin'

C
Wilt away on lies from you

               F
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run

                  C                            G
I take it all for granted like you're the only one

             F
Livin' on my own

F
Somehow that sounds nice

                   C
You think I'm your fool

                      G7
Well, you may just be right
[Chorus]
        F                   G
'Cause (minute by minute by minute by minute)

               C
I keep holdin' on babe (I'll be holdin' on)

                          F   G
Oooh, yes I'll be holdin' ooooooon

               C
I keep holdin' on

               Dm7
I keep holdin' on
F C G7 [Bridge]
Em7
Call my name and I'll be gone

Cmaj7
You'll reach out and I won't be there

Amaj7
Just my luck you'll realize

D
You should spend your life with someone

D
You could spend your life with someone
[Outro]
 C                   D

                G
I'll be holding on, ooh yeah naah, oh baby

(minute by minute by minute by minute)

G
I'll be holding on...

C                   D                                  G
(minute by minute by minute by minute) I'll be holdin' on

G
Girl to the moment we, get there

C                   D
(minute by minute by minute by minute)

G
(Repeat until fadeout)
