Hold On

Green Day

intro: G C G C G C D  (2x) 

          G        C
1. 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
   Until I reach the break of the day
   
   When the sun beats down
   On the halfway house
   Has my conscience beating
   The sound in my ear
   The will to persevere
   As I reach the break of the day

        Emi                 G
R: When you lost all hope and excuses
      D       G
   and the cheapskates and the losers
       Emi            G
   Nothing's left to cling on to
     C  D
   Got to hold on
   G
   hold on to yourself
   
2. 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 the Day
   
   So I run to the edge
   Beyond the shadows of a doubt
   With my conscience bleeding
   Here lies the truth
   The lost treasures of my youth
   As I hold on to the break of the day

R: When you lost...

   When you lost all hope and excuses
   And the cheapstakes and the losers
   Nothing's left to cling onto
   You gotta hold on
   You gotta hold on
   Hold on
   Hold on to yourself
