C   G/C  C  G/C
We've been broken down
       F
The lowest rung
 C      G/C    C     G/C
Being on the bottom line
 F
Sure ain't no fun
        C    G/C      C     G/C
But if we should be evicted
 F
From our homes
           C
We'll just move
    C/B      Am
Somewhere else
      F          G
And still carry on


[Pre-Chorus]
         C
(If we hold on) Hold on
   E7
(Hold on) Hold on
 F      G
Hmmm
        C
(If we hold on) Hold on
   E7                F      G
(Hold on) Won't be long now


[Chorus]
                 C
The only way is up
  E7       F              G
Baby, for you and me now
            C
The only way is up
  E7        F          G
Baby, for you and me now


[Verse 2]
                 C   G/C  C  G/C
Now, we may not know
            F
Where our next meal is coming from
       C   G/C  C  G/C
But with you by my side
       F
I'll face what is to come
   C   G/C  C  G/C
Girl I wanna thank you
       F
For loving me this way
     C    C/B      Am
Things may be a little hard now
           F              G
But we'll find a brighter day


[Pre-Chorus]
         C
(If we hold on) Hold on
   E7
(Hold on) Hold on
 F      G
Hmmm
        C
(If we hold on) Hold on
   E7                F      G
(Hold on) Won't be long now


[Chorus]
                 C
The only way is up
  E7       F              G
Baby, for you and me now
            C
The only way is up
  E7        F          G
Baby, for you and me now


[Pre-Chorus]
         C
(If we hold on) Hold on
   E7
(Hold on) Hold on
 F      G
Hmmm
        C
(If we hold on) Hold on
   E7                F      G
(Hold on) Won't be long now


[Chorus]
                 C
The only way is up
  E7       F              G
Baby, for you and me now
            C
The only way is up
  E7        F          G
Baby, for you and me now
                 C
The only way is up
  E7       F              G
Baby, for you and me now
            C
The only way is up
  E7        F          G
Baby, for you and me now
