F#m And all the kids that used to run here G Tell me why do they load their guns here? D I remember in the days when A We were one heart, no need to defend Em I just wrap my arms around you G Don't give up, this song is for you D Hey, hey, hey A No matter how life is today F#m There's just one thing that I got to say G I won't let another moment slip away D I say hey, hey, hey A No matter how life is today Em There's just one thing that I got to say G I won't let another moment slip away D A I hold on, I'm trying to hold on F#m G I hold on, hold on, hold on D From the tops of the buildings to the streets below A Between the Wall Street banks and the empty homes F#m Between the lines of the people standing all in a row G There's a crack in the gutter where a flower grows D Reminding me that everything is possible A Yeah, reminding me that nothing is impossible Em You gotta live for the one that you love you know G You gotta love for the life that you live you know D Singing hey, hey, hey A No matter how life is today F#m There's just one thing that I got to say G I won't let another moment slip away D I'll sing hey, hey, hey A No matter how life is today F#m There's just one thing that I got to say G I won't let another moment slip away F#m D I hold on, I'm trying to hold on F#m D I hold on, I'm trying to hold on F#m Until the morning comes again D I will remain with you my friend A And we will ride until the sun A Goes to the place where it begun A And we will live to laugh and cry another day D Don't let nobody ever tell you that it couldn't be done A Don't let nobody ever tell you that we couldn't be one Em Don't let nobody ever tell you that it shouldn't be sung G Don't let nobody ever tell you you're the only one D Singing hey, hey, hey A No matter how life is today F#m There's just one thing that I got to say G I won't let another moment slip away D I say hey, hey, hey A No matter how life is today Em There's just one thing that I got to say G I won't let another moment slip away D Whoa, oh, oh, oh, I hold on A Whoa, oh, oh, oh F#m Whoa, oh, oh, oh, I hold on G Whoa, oh, oh, oh D I'm just trying to hold on A Trying to hold on Em G Trying to hold on D I say hey, hey, hey A No matter how life is today F#m There's just one thing that I got to say G I won't let another moment slip away D I say hey, hey, hey A No matter how life is today Em There's just one thing that I got to say G I won't let another moment slip away D I hold on
