Hey, hey, hey.
Marriage with Bogart.
Something weird was going on with my hand.
Cancelling gigs.
Not sure what was going on.
Record label finds out something's wrong with my hand.
I'm like, don't.
Booking agent drops me.
Distribution, wait, I think I saw a list
of [Am] all that stuff, right?
So, [N] I can still play, I can still write a little bit,
and I write this piece when I was still a right-handed
and I [C] really poured my heart into it.
I mean, I had to go to Harvard for it.
I had to do this, and then I had to come up with it.
[E]
[N] And what I was feeling was that everything
that I was counting on in my life,
[G]
everything that I thought I could count on was disappearing.
And so I gave this piece [N] the title.
It's got nothing to do with sirens.
Shhh.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
This piece is called Hold On To Forever.
And I realized shortly after I named this piece
that I was not Celine Dion.
And it was a bad idea to call this piece that.
So my kids call it Hold On To Whoever.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

The one thing I can [C] say is that the music does [N] try,
like the guitar has been, when I've been playing it
this way with the tapping, it's been like a lot
