[Verse 1]
AmDeep pockets, shallow souls
                Am/DSilence bought, violence sold

F                              G          Am   Am/CThat ain’t living, that’s just life these days
 AmThey taught you little but tortured smiles
                             Am/DLife’s this riddle where the answer is lie
FOh, so lie down boy,
                                  AmA high horse leaves a long way to fall
     FYour feet don’t reach the stirrups,
F                        G              AmIt’s clear your spirit’s feeble as it’s small

[Chorus]
      FIf we hold on,
           G     AmAre things gonna change, son?
        G                FThey’ve always been this way, son

    F                              G         AmOh, you should be grateful you can even see outside
         FAnd that dangling carrot

[Chorus]
      FIf we hold on,
                  GFor change that’s coming
      AmIf we hold strong,
G                FAre things gonna change, son?
          G        AmOr are we bound to bow, boy
          G                  FRaise the flag, throw in the towel, boy
                     E7Or finally stand our ground?

[Verse 3]
AmIf we take a look, and take a lesson
 D                F(And hold on, and hold on)
AmAnd tame mistakes from all the guessing
  D               F(And hold on, and hold on)
AmIf we count our luck, and count our blessings
 D                F(And hold on, and hold on)
 F                     E7(And hold on, and hold on)
