Chords for Cherie Call Sings "Holding-On" for A Good Grief

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I just want to say thanks again for being [N] a part of this wonderful evening. _
I'm just going to finish _ [G] my part of this tonight with a song called Holding On.
It's one of my favorites. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ If I had to move [D]
away, [Em] if I had to pack a [G] box today, [G]
there are some things I'd have
to let go [Em] _ before I headed down [G] the interstate.
The favorite dress that [D] doesn't fit anymore, [G] and all the papers in my old desk drawer.
Bad habits and old [Em] grudges, I take them all to [G] the second-hand [Am] store.
But [D] there's a list of things I'd have to take with me, _ _ [Am] _ no matter [G] how long this winding road
turns out to be.
_ [D] I'm [G] holding on to the [Bm] Valentines, [Em] the letters I've read a [G] thousand times that [G] say,
we believe in [D] you [Em] and never give up your [G]
dreams.
I'm holding on to [D] my own backyard.
[Em] I hope that I [G] can fit it all in my car when [A] the whole world's letting go. _ _ _ _
I'll keep holding on.
_ [D] You _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ can't keep a harvest moon.
[Em] It fades away [G] all too soon.
And even the trees let go of their leaves much quicker than you'd ever choose.
So many people say [D] goodbye.
[G] I see those [C] teardrops in their [G] eyes and I start to wonder how I'd live without [Em] love.
And I'm glad I'll never [C] have to try.
[Am] _
[D] Because hardly anything lasts [G] forever [D] anymore.
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ But there will always be a few things that I'm gonna keep fighting for.
[C#]
I'm holding on to my [D] father's love [Em] and my mother's faith [G] in God above.
She says, we believe in [D] you.
[Em] Always. _ _
[G] I'm holding on to my true [Bm] love's hand and [G] I know
that he will always understand when the [A] whole world's letting go.
_ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] I'll keep holding [G] on.
The shooting stars and red balloons, ice cream [D] cones and breezy [Em]
dunes.
I love them all.
[G] I hold them dear.
But they so quickly [Em] disappear.
These are the things I'll keep with me no matter [D] where my life will _ lead.
A loving [G] word, a gentle kiss.
I need [Bm] nothing more than [G] _ this. _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] I'm holding on to the [D] Valentines.
[Em] Letters I've read [G] a thousand times that say,
we believe in [D] you.
[Em] Never give up [C] your dreams.
[G] I'm holding on to my own [D] backyard.
I hope that [G] I can fit it all in my car when [Am] the whole world's [A] letting go. _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] I'm holding [G]
on to my [D] father's love [Em] and my mother's faith [G] in God above.
She says, we believe [D] in you.
[Em] Never give [G] up your dreams.
I'm holding on to my true [Bm] love's hand and [G] I know
that he will always understand [A] when the whole world's letting go.
[G] _ _ _ _ I'll keep holding on.
I'll _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] keep _ _ holding on. _ _ _
[N] Thank you again so much. _ _ _ _
