[Db] [Ab] [Bbm]
[Fm] [Ebm] [Db]
Years [Gb] ago my heart was [Ebm] set to live, [Ab] oh, [Fm] and I've been [Db] trying hard against [Gb] unbelievable [A] odds.
It [Db]
gets so [Gb] hard in times like [Ebm] now to [Ab] hold on.
[Fm] The guns that [Bbm] wait to be stuck by [Gb] at my side [B] is gone.
[Db] And there ain't [Ab] no [Bbm] one [Fm] going to [Gb] turn [Db] me around.
Ain't [Ab] no [Bbm] one [Fm] going [Gb] to turn [Db] me around.
There's people [Gb] around [Eb] who tell [Ebm] you that they [Ab] know.
[Fm] And places where to [Bbm] send you, [Gb] and it's [A] easy to go.
[Db] They'll zip you [Gb] up and dress you down [Ebm] and stand you in a [Ab] row.
[Fm] But you know you don't have [Bbm] to, [Gb] you could just [B] say no.
[Ab] [Db] And there [Ab] ain't no [Bbm] one [Fm] going [Ebm] to turn [Db] me around.
Ain't [Ab] no [Fm] one going [Ebm] to turn [Db] me around.
Ain't [Ab] no [Bbm] one [Fm] going [Gb] to turn [Db] me around.
Ain't [Ab] no [Bbm] one [Fm] going to [Gb] turn [Db] me around.
[Eb] And they'll chop [Ebm] and [Gb] trust it.
[Bbm] [Ebm] Broke down [Gb] and bust it.
[Eb] [Db] But they'll get [Gb] busy and people get out [Ebm] and sit in the cab.
Just [Bbm] to hold [Ebm] on.
[Ab] Hold [Db] on.
[Bbm] Hold [Ebm] on.
[Ab] Hold [Db] on.
Years ago [Gb] my heart was set [Ebm] to live.
[Ab] And [Fm] I've been [Bbm] trying hard [Gb] against [A] strong odds.
[Db] It gets [Gb] so hard in times like [Ebm] now to hold [Ab] on.
[Fm] But I'm bold if I don't [Bbm] fight.
[Gb] And at my [B] side is God.
[Db] And there ain't [Fm] no one going to [Gb] turn [Db] me around.
[Ab] Ain't [Bbm] no [Fm] one [Ebm] going to turn [Db] me around.
[Ab] Ain't [Fm] no one going [Gb] to turn [Db] me around.
Ain't [Ab] no [Bbm] one [Gb] going [Db] to turn me around.
