Cmaj7                Cmaj7
   Hey, don't worry, I've been lied to
Cmaj7                Cmaj7
 I've been here many times before
                F13sus                F13
Girl, don't you worry, I know where I stand
                  Am/G                    Dm7/G
I don't need this love, I don't need your hand
           Gb7 F13sus                    F13
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone
                  Am/G                    Dm7/G
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on

   Gb7 Fmaj9               Dm7/G
But... (minute by minute by minute by minute)
                Cmaj7                       Bm11 Bb9    Am7
I keep holding on (I'll be holding on) I'll  be hold-ing on
    Fmaj9               Dm7/G
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
               Cmaj7            Cmaj7   F/G
I keep holding on          ah babe, now


Verse 2:
Cmaj7                    Cmaj7
   You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Cmaj7           Cmaj7
   Wilt away on lies from you
               F13sus                 F13
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run
                  Am/G                         Dm7/G
I take it all for granted like you're the only one
            Gb7  F13sus                   F13
Livin'  on  my   own, somehow that sounds nice
                    Am/G                       Dm7/G
You think I'm your fool, well, you may just be right

I keep holding on, now (I'll be holding on) I'll be hold-ing on
      Fmaj9               Dm7/G
Oh...(minute by minute by minute by minute)
               Cmaj7      Cmaj7  Bm11 Bb9 Am7
I keep holding on               I keep holding on

     Call my name and I'll be gone

      You'll reach out and I won't be there
A7sus  Am7                               Em
       Just my luck you'll realize
D7sus                                          G/A
     You should spend your life with someone
D7sus                               F#m7  Fmaj7  D/E
     You could spend your life with some    -    one

I'll be holding on

(minute by minute by minute by minute)
                  Gmaj7                     F#m11 F9 Em7
I'll be holding on... (repeat and fade with lead vocal ad lib)
