Holding Out
(Transcibed by Jim McGuire)


Holding out for a better way holding out that's the way I played it
G                     C    D          G                 C          D
And playing is no fun when you gotta play alone
D                  G              C            D
Oh love holding out holding out holding out
D   G       C            D                G


Gather round the flying lady feather down to nothing better
G                   C      D          G               C     D
Than weathering a storm off the ground and off the bone
D                   G                 C                D
And holding on holding on holding on holding on
            G         C         D             G

Telephone please don't ring for nothing
G                         C          D
Call me home to a dream that lasts till morning
          G                    C           D
I never sleep alone without a light on come and turn it down
                 G       C              D                   G
So love hold me down hold me down 
    C            D            G


O love it don't come easy it brings you down to a bed of roots and reasons
 G         C          D        G                          C               D
And I don't do well alone off the ground and off the bone
                      G            C                     D
I'm holding on so love hold me down hold me down
        G          C                 D          G


Hold me down hold me down hold me down
C                     D               G


And it isn't easy breathing hold me down
              C       D                G
Do you think it's easy singing hold me down
                  C     D                G
And it isn't easy living hold me down
             C     D                 G

Hold me down hold me down hold me down
       C                D             G
