Holding On To You by Story of the Year
Holding On To You
Capo on 1st Fret
Intro-Em, C, G, D
Em
Another year's gone so fast
C
Another life becomes the past
G
Under the weight of dreams
D
That I never thought would last
Em
Feelings clash
C
A satellite across the globe
G
This window seat becomes my home
D
I lay awake for hours staring at the world below
Em, C, G, D all throughout song except chorus and bridge.
(No idea with the chorus. All I know is that it has the D and C chords in it.)
Into the waves again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
By holding on to you
Another night just slips away
Wishing the time would let me stay
Stuck in between two lives that could never be the same
I remain without a chance to say to you
That every word I said was true
I lay awake all night just staring back at you
Into the waves again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
Holding on to you
Just one more day we'll make it though
Will you - still feel the same way that I do
Will you feel the way I do
Into the waves again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
Holding on to you
Into the waves again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
So I'm holding on to you
Just one more day we'll make it through
We'll make it through

version 2
*****NOTE**** - 1) Read the notes on the Bridge and Outro BEFORE you start playing.
2) If you are playing this song just by yourself, I think it sounds better if you replace
the Dsus4 with G in the VERSE and BRIDGE. But in the original version of the song
they use the chords as listed below.

Another year is gone so fast
Another life becomes the past
Under the weight of dreams
That I never thought would last
Feelings clash
And set a light across the globe
This window seat becomes my home
I lie awake for hours
Staring at the world below
Into the ways again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
By holding on to you
Another night has slipped away
Wishing the time would let me stay
Stuck in between two lives
That could never be the same
I remain without a chance
To say to you that
Every word I said was true
I lie awake all night
Just staring back at you
Into the ways again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
Holding on to you
Just one more day
Well make it through
Will you still feel the same way
That I do? That I do
Holding on to you
Noo
You feel the same way I do
Holding on to you
Noo
Into the ways again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
Holding on to you
Into the ways again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
So Im holding on to you
Just one more day
Well make it through
Well make it through
