Simply Red
A, Am, C, D, Dm, Em, G
Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fears go on
Strangled by the wishes of Peter
Hoping for a young major
Get to me sooner or later
Holding back the years
And for me to escape from all I've known
Holding back the tears
'Cause nothing here has grown
And with all my tears
Wasted all those years
There's nothing I have a chance to become
And nothing ever could
I'll keep holdin' on, I'll keep holdin' on, I'll keep holdin' on, I'll keep holdin' on,
Holdin', holdin', all my tears
Wasted all those years
Nothin' has a chance to be good
Nothin' ever could
I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holding on
And I'll keep holding on
And I'll keep holding on
