Lyrics

Hey, don’t wor just ry; to I’ve been lied to.

I’ve been there man y times be fore.

Girl, don’t you (F13sus)wor ry; it of I know where I (F13)stand.

I don’t need this (Am)love; grant ed, like I don’t need your (Dm7)hand.

I know I (Gb7)could (F13sus)turn,

think ing you’d be (F13)gone,

that I must be pre (Am)pared

an y time to car ry (Dm7)on,

but (Fmaj9)(min ute by min ute by (Dm7)min ute by min ute) I keep hold ing on.

(I’ll be hold ing on,

(Bm11)I’ll (Bb9)be hold (Am7)ing (Fmaj9)on.) (Min ute by min ute by min ute by min ute) I keep hold ing on.

You would stay just ry; to watch me, dar ling,

wilt a way of y lies from you.

Can’t stop the (F13sus)hab ry; it of liv ing on the (F13)run.

Take it all for (Am)love; grant ed, like you’re the on ly (Dm7)one.

Liv ing on (Gb7)my (F13sus)own,

some how that sounds (F13)nice.

that You think I’m your (Am)fool;

well, y you may just be (Dm7)right,

’cause (Fmaj9)(min ute by min ute by (Dm7)min ute by min ute) I keep hold ing on.

(I’ll be hold ing on,

(Bm11)I’ll (Bb9)be hold (Am7)ing (Fmaj9)on.) (Min ute by min ute by min ute by min ute) I keep hold ing on.

(Bm11)I (Bb9)keep hold (Am7)ing (Dm7)on.

Call my name and I’ll be gone.

You reach out and I won’t be there.

(Am7)Just my luck, you’ll re al ize

you should spend your life

with some one.

You could spend your life with (F#m7)some

(D)one.

(Cmaj9)(Min ute by min ute by (Am7)min ute by min ute) I’ll be hold ing on.

(Cmaj9)(Min ute by min ute by (Am7)min ute by min ute) I’ll be hold ing on.
