[Verse 1]
G
Baby, now don't look back
C
Don't let those feelings start
G
Don't let the line go slack, when you're
C
pulling it all apart.
D
How to describe the sky
       C
or dis-mantle a beating heart?

[Chorus]
G                        Em
Guess we're just holding on
G                   Em
Baby, we're holding on
G                    D
Honey, we're holding on
       C
to the world.

[Verse 2]
G
Seeking assurances,
C
some kind of guarantee.
      G
There has to be more than this, oh now
C
More than the eye can see.
D
Holding the lanterns high, while we
C
sink with our vanity.

[Chorus]
G                        Em
Guess we're just holding on
G                   Em
Baby, we're holding on
G                    D
Honey, we're holding on
       C
to the world.

[Chorus]
G                   Em
Here we are holding on
G                   Em
Baby, we're holding on
G                    D
Honey, we're holding on
       C
to the world.

[Bridge]
C             D
Now I'm gonna love you
         G                      C
Like the spring bursts from the ground,
C                G
Falling from the ground,
C                Em      C
Falling from the ground

[Verse 3]
G
Faces of buildings, trees,
C
All that is stoned, inert
G
Here in these empty streets, well it
C
silently does assert, that
D
we are just passing ghosts, honey,
C
vapors of joy and hurt

[Chorus]
     G                   Em
And, here we are holding on
G                   Em
Baby, we're holding on
G                    D
Honey, we're holding on
       C
to the world.

G
Baby, we're holding on
C
Oh yeah, we're holding on
G
Hey now, we're holding on
C
Baby, we're holding on

G                   Em
Here we are holding on
G                   Em
Baby, we're holding on
G                        D
Guess we're just holding on
       C
to the world.
G                   Em
Baby, we're holding on
       C
to the world.
