[Bbm] [Eb] [Db]
Years [Gb] ago my heart was [Bbm] set to live, [Ab] oh, [Fm] and I've been trying [Db] hard [Gb] against unbelievable [A] odds.
[Db] It gets [Gb] so hard in times like now to [Ab] hold on, [Fm] but guns they wait [Bbm] to be stuck by, [Gb] at
my [B] sight is God.
And there ain't no [Bbm] one going to turn [Db] me around, ain't [Bbm] no one [Gb] going to turn [Db] me around.
There's people [Gb] now [Ebm] who tell 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 up and dress you [Ebm] down and stand you in a [Ab] room, [Fm] but you know you don't
[Bbm] have to, [Gb]
you could just [B] say no.
There [Ab] ain't [Bbm] no one going to [Gb] turn me [Db] around, ain't no one going [Gb] to turn me [Db] around, ain't
no one going [Gb] to turn [Db] me around, ain't no one [Fm] going to turn me [Db] around.
[Eb] I've been built up [Gb] and trusted, [Ebm] broke down and busted, but they'll get theirs and we'll
get ours [Ebm] if we can just [Bbm] hold [Ebm] on, [Ab] hold [Db] on, [Bbm]
hold [Ebm] on.
[Ab]
[Cm] [Db]
Years ago [Gb] my heart was set [Ebm] to live, [Ab] oh, [Fm] and I've been trying [Bbm] hard [Gb] against [A] strong odds.
[Db] It gets [Gb] so hard in times like [Ebm] now to hold [Ab] on, [Fm] but I'll fall if [Bbm] I don't fight, [Gb] and at
[B] my side is God.
[Db] There ain't no one going to turn [Ab] me [Db] around, ain't [Fm] no one going to turn [Db] me around, ain't
no one going to turn me around, [Ab] ain't no one going to turn [Db] me around.
[Bbm] Hold on, [Ebm] [Eb] hold [Bb] on, [Db] [Bbm] hold on, [Ebm] [Eb] hold [Ab] on.
