       G             C
As i stepped to the edge
             G          D
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
 G       C          G  D
With my conscience beating
          G           C
Like the pulse of a drum
      G             D
That hammers on and on
          C          D       G
Untill i reach the break of day

As the sun beats down on
The halfway house
has my conscience beating
The sound in my ear
The will to perservere
As i reach the break of day

Chorus:
                   Em         G
When you lost all hope and excuses
          D                G
And the cheapskates & the losers
          Em           G
Nothings left to cling onto
       C   D                   G
Gotta hold on, hold on to yourself

A cry of hope,
A plea for peace
And my conscience beating
It's not what I want
For it's all that I need
To reach the break of day

So I run to the edge
On the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience bleeding
Here lies the truth,
The lost treasures of my youth
As I hold to the break of day

Chorus

Chorus:
When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
Gotta hold on...
Gotta hold on...
Hold on, hold on to yourself
