I'm out here
G
Working to sell a piece of my soul
D     G
Every day just to come home

To more bills in my check can pay
                                       D/F#      Em
But I'm happy I got my chest out in my chin held high
         C
When I'm hanging on by a thread or
                  D
Tie a knot at the end

And hold on for dear life

                                         D/F#    Em
Hills and valleys the lowest lows in the highest high

When I'm hanging On by a thread or
                  D
Tie a knot at the end
    N.C.        G
And hold on for dear life


Chorus:
         Em
When the days get longer and the
C                          G                    D
Nights feel colder and the pressure cuts like a knife
   Em                         C
My prayers get stronger going up
                 G                 D
To the father he says keep holding tight
                 G
So I hold on for dear life

G                                            D       G
I've got two boys turning out better than my old man son
G
Want to give him the whole world
                    D       G
But I can only give them so much
G
Ain't nothing magic just a hand they can hold
         D/F#   Em            C
And some free advice when I'm hanging on by thread
                    D
I tie a knot at the end
N.C.        G         D/F#
Hold on for dear life

Nights feel colder and the pressure cuts like a knife
   Em                         C
My prayers get stronger going up
                 G                 D
To the father he says keep holding tight
                 Em
