Hold Tough chords by Bug Hunter

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

E                A
When I turned 15, determined to keep

My head lower than my self-esteem
    E
I had a plan but I was held back by acting
   B
Like acne was the worst thing to happen
      E
If I could go back, leave a note that
          A
Might've told that teen boy the stuff that

I didn't know then
E
I'd write two words - all he'd need
    B
To know this ain't how it'll always be

Chorus:

E
Hold Tough, fill your heart with mud
    A
Stitch up every cut when you've had enough and stand
C#m
Stand strong when the pressure's up
  B         A
And damn this flood by holding tough
E
(We've got some work to do...)

(We've got some work to do...)

Verse 2:

E
I did what Simon said
   A
I had plans inside my head
          E
Planted by handsome men

But in the act of cashin' in
    B
I gave half of my fraction of passion left
     E
It's not pretty, it's not trendy to act like this
    A
I'm no natural, I have to practice it
      E
You're not ready, I get that but here it is
   B
Stick with me or be stuck with what you get


Chorus:

E
Hold Tough, fill your heart with mud
    A
Stitch up every cut when you've had enough and stand
C#m
Stand strong when the pressure's up
  B         A
And damn this flood by holding tough

Outro:

E
Hold Tough, fill your heart with mud
    A
Stitch up every cut when you've had enough and stand
C#m
Stand strong when the pressure's up
  B         A
And damn this flood by holding tough


E
Hold Tough, fill your heart with mud
    A
Stitch up every cut when you've had enough and stand
C#m
Stand strong when the pressure's up
  B         A       E
And damn this flood by holding tough
