Chorus:
C#
I'm gonna hold on
F# C# G#
'cause what I believe in is so strong
F# C#
No matter how long, no one
F# C# G# C#
Can tell me I'm wrong I ain't goin' down
C#
I had a baby at fifteen--
F#
daddy never did forgive me
C# G#
I never heard from the guy again
C#
I had to drop outta high school
F#
everybody treated me so cruel
C# G# C#
But I didn't give in and give her away
Chorus
A#m G# F#
Her smile got me through the day
C#
and every night I'd pray
G#
I could give her enough
A#m G# F#
At night I'd lie awake and cry
C#
hopin' we'd get by
G#
'Cause you can't live on love
D#
I worked night and day to keep us goin'
G#
Through the sweat and tears
without her knowin'
D# A#
It was worth it just to watch her grow
D#
Oh, oh, at least I was able to hold her
G#
Whenever she needed my shoulder
D# A# D#
I'm so glad I never let her go
Chorus:
D#
I'm gonna hold on
G# D# A#
'cause what I believe in is so strong
G# D#
No matter how long, no one
G# D# A# D#
Can tell me I'm wrong I ain't goin' down
Cm A# G#
Her smile got me through the years
D#
dried away the tears
A#
And filled me with hope
Cm A# G#
At night I'd lie awake and cry
Cm D#
prayed we would get by
A#
And for the courage to cope
Oh, oh, oh
Cm A# G#
Her smile got me through the day--
D#
and every night I'd pray
A#
I could give her enough
