C majorC G+G A minorAm FF
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF
[Verse]
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC G+G FF
You were written as holograph in type in the setting of the sun
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
I heard it coming in the waning of the light, that my time was nearly come
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC G+G FF
So I and your mother, we set about to write in the language of our love
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
how you were born high above the tree line, beating heart was like a drum
[Chorus]
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC E minorEm FF
Oh holding on and holding out for a muddy pool in the summer drought
C majorC G+G E MajorE FF C majorC G+G FF
Oh holding honor, hold your doubt, cuz I don't believe it's too late to save us now
FF
So honey here's to holding out
[Break]
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF
C majorC G+G FF
[Verse]
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC G+G FF
Holding out for sunrise in the valley of my mind, darkening my eyes
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
I'm not creeping up on death, I'm transferring the light, transferring the life
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC G+G FF
Well I was building up a fortress to protect you all your life so that you would never want
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
But I can't build them like they used to, that I realized, that fear will come to haunt
[Chorus]
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC E minorEm FF
Oh holding on and holding out for a muddy pool in the summer drought
C majorC G+G E MajorE FF C majorC G+G FF
Oh holding honor, hold your doubt, cuz I don't believe it's too late to save us now
FF
So honey here's to holding out
[Verse]
C majorC
The rains never came
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Seems like we all got that same far-off, dusty stare
The rains never came
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
Ain't it funny just thinking that somewhere out there
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
it's probably pouring on somebody's teatime affair
[Break]
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF
