Holding On To Nothing chords by Dolly Parton

Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:

C           F    C    G7   C
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to

        F       C
I'm so tired of holding on to nothing
            F
The years have shown no kindness
    C           G7
For the hard times we've been through
C              F
We've squeezed the life from every dream
  C
And still go right on bluffing
F          C  G7     C
With really nothing left to hold on to

             F
Oh why do we keep holding on
       C
With nothing left to hold on to
             F
Let's be honest with each other
      C         G7
That's the least that we can do
    C        F      C
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
           F    C    G7   C
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to

         F      C
We were young and foolishly mistaken
       F        C      G7
Victims of a passion much too strong to be denied
C         F        C
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been faking
F         C  G7       C
God only knows how long how hard we've tried

Repeat #2

           F    C    G7   C
