Holding Back The Years     Simply Red

Dm9   =  100210
G     =  320003
Dm7   =  x00211


        Dm9               G          Dm9  
        Holding back the years
                         G                Dm7
        Thinking of the fear I've had so long
                     G         Dm9
        When somebody hears
                      G                Dm7-G
        Listen to the fear that's gone

        Strangled by the wishes of Pater
        Hoping for the arms of Mater
        Get to me the sooner or later
        
        Holding back the years
        Chance for me to escape from all I've known
        Holding back the tears
        'Cause nothing here has grown
        I've wasted all my tears
        Wasted all those years
        Nothing had the chance to be good
        Nothing ever could, yeah, oh, well
        
        Dm9        G7
        I'll keep holding on
        I'll keep holding on
        I'll keep holding on  
        I'll keep holding on, (Dm7-G) ... so tight
        
        Well I've wasted all my tears
        Wasted all of those years
        And nothing had the chance to be good
        'Cause nothing ever could, oh, oh
        
        I'll keep holding on
        I'll keep holding on
        I'll keep holding on
        I'll keep holding on

        Holding, holding, holding ah la la la
        I say ooh yeah
        That's all I have today
        It's all I have to say
