| Em    C  | G    D  | 4x


[Verse 1]
  D                                              E
Staring at the bottom and the memories of long ago
  D                                E
Try to pull yourself up loose that all time low
          D
Still it wants to bring you down
 E
Wants to steal your crown
  D                                                   E
Try to wrap it up and just give it all some place to go

[Chorus]
  Em
Staring at a photograph
   C
Of everything we used to have
     G                 D
And memories of long ago
          Em        C             G         D
Hard to shake them now, hard to shake them now
 Em
Looking back at the past
      C
And why we couldn't make it last
      G                  D
And why you ever had to go
         Em      C             G       D
Hard to take it now, hard to shake it now
         D
It holds on


[Verse 2]
                                                              E
Somewhere down the road and the things you learned along the way
D                                  E
All you won and lost, and all you had to pay
          D
Still it wants to turn you round
 E
Wants to steal your ground
  D                                             E
Try to wrap it up and somehow just put it all away


[Chorus]
  Em
Staring at a photograph
   C
Of everything we used to have
     G                 D
And memories of long ago
          Em        C             G         D
Hard to shake them now, hard to shake them now
 Em
Looking back at the past
      C
And why we couldn't make it last
      G                  D
And why you ever had to go
         Em      C             G       D
Hard to take it now, hard to shake it now
         Em
It holds on

It holds on

It holds on

It holds on

It holds on
