D#             G#
Once again I'm falling to my knees
     D#                   G#
And now this feeling is spreading like a disease
      D#
This place is so pathetic
Doesn't anybody get it?
         G#
Is there anybody home?
         Cm
There's nothing left
       A#               Fm             G#
We're just a shadow of what we used to be.

Chorus:
D#      A#              Fm         G#
In the night there's a fire in my eyes.
          D#  A#        Fm                  G#
And this paradise has become a place we've come to cry.
       Cm                    A#
When I open your letter, the words make it better.
    Fm           G#
It takes it all away.

D# G# Cm    A#
        It keeps me holding on.

Here we are pretending we're ok
(You can say what you want,
but you still can't fool me)
The life we're living, it's all masquerade
(I try to smile, but I can't remember how)
So how did we get so jaded
Is it so complicated
To not give up on me?

Chorus

It keeps me holding on.

    G#
Whenever I need you
   Cm       A#
Wherever I run to
I know where to find you
It keeps me holding on.
Whenever I need you
Wherever I run to

   G#                  A#
I know where to find you

you keep me holding on
you keep me holding on

Chorus

It keeps me holding on
Whenever I need you
Wherever I run to
I know where to find you
It keeps me holding on
Whenever I need you
Wherever I run to
I know where to find you
It keeps me holding on
