C#m      B        A        B
He's a twentieth century boy
G#m                    G
With his hands on the rails
F       C               D
Trying not to be sick again
F                     G
And holding on for tomorrow

London ice cracks on a seamless line
He's hanging on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow, singing

Chorus:
Am7
La la la la-la
 G           D
La la la la la la la-la-la
Am7
La la la la-la
 G           D
La la la la la la la-la-la
F                 G
Holding on for tomorrow
(row, row, row, row, row)

She's a twentieth century girl
With her hands on the wheel
Trying not to make him sick again
Seeing what she can borrow
London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes
But we're lost on the Westway
And so we hold each other tightly
And we can wait until tomorrow, singing

Chorus

We're trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl
Holding on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow, singing

Chorus

Am7
Jim stops and gets out the car
      G            D
Goes to a house in Emperor's Gate
Am7
Through the door and to his room
G                D
Then he puts the TV on
Am7
Turns it off and makes some tea
        G                 D
Says, "Modern life, well, it's rubbish"
     F                G
I'm holding on for tomorrow (row, row, row)

Then Susan comes into the room
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile
Says, "Let's take a drive to Primrose Hill"
It's windy there and the view's so nice
London ice can freeze your toes
Like anyone, I suppose you're
Holding on for tomorrow, oh-ho
