Chords with lyrics
Holding Out by Andy Grammer
This song is in 4/4 time.
To make it easier to play, I wrote the chords as though they had four beats each:
A augmentedA / / / 
D MajorD / / / 
F# minorF#m / / / 
E MajorE / / /
However, the A augmentedA and F# minorF#m really have three beats each while the D MajorD and E MajorE have five.
It's really supposed to be:
A augmentedA / / D MajorD / / / / F# minorF#m / / E MajorE / / / /
[Verse 1:]
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
When I met you, love, I hadn't done the dirty yet,
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m (E MajorE)
Call me the unicorn, they said that I didn't exist,
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
Truth is my heart was torn, the v had a couple of rips
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
But I was still holding on to the edge with my finger tips
[Pre-chorus:]
A augmentedA D MajorD
With a little bit of prayer, little bit of porn, sorry,
F# minorF#m E MajorE
Couple long nights of sleeping on my own
A augmentedA D MajorD
Waiting for the right one to come along
F# minorF#m E MajorE
Waiting for the right one and now I know
[Chorus:]
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
That I was holding out for you
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
Yeah, I've been holding out for you
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
And the neighbors, yeah, they're all haters 'cause they say that we go too loud
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
I've been holding out for you
[Verse 2:]
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
And a couple times thought I might not make it (make it)
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m (E MajorE)
Laying on the bed, both of us half naked (naked)
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
Looking in her eyes something in my heart said save it (save it!)
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
Here we go again, another awkward conversation
[Pre-chorus:]
A augmentedA D MajorD
With a little bit of prayer, little bit of porn, sorry,
F# minorF#m E MajorE
Couple long nights of sleeping on my own
A augmentedA D MajorD
Waiting for the right one to come along
F# minorF#m E MajorE
Waiting for the right one and now I know
[Chorus:]
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
That I was holding out for you
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
Yeah, I've been holding out for you
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
And the neighbors, yeah, they're all haters 'cause they say that we go too loud
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
I've been holding out for you
[Bridge:]
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
Cupid's secret is love starts before you meet it [4x]
[Pre-chorus:]
A augmentedA D MajorD
With a little bit of prayer, little bit of porn, sorry,
F# minorF#m E MajorE
Couple long nights of sleeping on my own
A augmentedA D MajorD
Waiting for the right one to come along
F# minorF#m E MajorE
Waiting for the right one and now I know
[Chorus:]
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
That I was holding out for you
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
Yeah, I've been holding out for you
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
And the neighbors, yeah, they're all haters 'cause they say that we go too loud
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
I've been holding out for you
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
Holding out for you
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
Yeah, I was holding out for you
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
And the neighbors, yeah, they're all haters 'cause they say that we go too loud
A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
Yeah, I've been holding out for you
