D#        Fm
I see you laughing up at me
C#
and I can't hide
        Fm
What it is that you can see
   C#
I guess that's why

Chorus:
    G#         A#m    C#     G#  D#  Fm D#
I'm holding out, my love for you
         C#       G#  A#m D#       G# A#m7 D# G# C#
Well I'm holding out, my love for you

A lifelong history
Of trust in vain
I lead the fools' parade
Out in the rain

I see you laughing up at me
'Cos you don't seem to care
But oh how happy I can be
When you are there

Chorus:
That's why I'm holding out
My love for you
