Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Repeat during Em part of verse

The patriots hang flags outside

That's how they do it nationwide

 But back home we don't care so much

I might be wrong but that's how it looks

 We listen to the sound of our minds

I feel as though I'm losing time

With hands of glory pushing rhymes

Never been so far before

I drove for days and weeks and more

Hard shoulder where the chaos lies

An invitation to the darker side

 And I'm holding on, I am holding on

 I am holding on as my life it slips away

Holding on, I am holding on

 I am holding on as my life it slips away

Spinning out my mind it twists

More worries than I can seem to list

 I've served my purpose true and well

 but I haven't yet got much to tell

 I listen to the panic in my nerves

An agonizing journey home

With empty hands I stand alone

Face my family, face my friends

I'd better turn around and try again

 As I'm holding on, I am holding on

 I am holding on as my life it slips away

 Holding on, I am holding on

 I am holding on as my life it slips away, my life it slips away

Holding on, I am holding on

 I am holding on as my life it slips away

Holding on, I am holding on

 I am holding on, I am holding on

Holding on as my life it slips away, my life it slips away…
