Hold On — Green Day
*intro* (w/harmonica)
G C G C G C D (x2)
*verse*
G C
As I stepped to the edge
G D
‘yond 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
til I reach the break of day
G C
As the sun beats down
G D
on the halfway house
G C G D
has my conscience beating
G C
The sound in my ear
G D
the will to persevere
C D G
as I reach the break of day
*chorus*
Em
When you lost all hope
G
and excuses
D G
and the cheapskates and the losers
Em
Nothing’s left
G
to cling on to
C D
Got to hold on
G
hold on to yourself
G C G C G C D
