D             G
Music holds a secret
A              G
To know it can make you whole
D               G
It's not just a game of notes
A                           G
It's the sounds inside your soul
Em               F#m
The magic of the melody
D                Cadd9  G
Runs through you like a stream
Em                 F#m
Notes that play go through you head
Bm                 G                  Bm
Like a dream . . . Like a dream . . . Like a dream


E                        A
I sing this song for the common man
E                 A
For the people in dispair
E                    A
I bring my song into the world
E                  A
And I sing it everywhere
E                     B7
The simple truth lies waiting here
D               A
For everyone to share
E       B7
So hold on
D                   A
And I will take you there
E    B7
Hold on

F#m        A    B7  E
And I will take you there


E          B7          D          A
E          B7          D          A
E          B7          D          A


E
The daily routine takes your soul
A
Lost without a trace
E
It holds you down and turns you 'round
A
And puts you in your place
Em           F#m
Another day, another dollar
D              A
Another pretty face
Em                F#m
Another chance to lose yourself
D              A
In the endless race


[Chorus]

E    B7
Hold on
D               A
Hold on to your dreams
E    B7
Hold on
D              A
Even though it seems
E        B7
Everyone around you
D                A
Has there little schemes
E         B7
Listen to your heart
F#m    A B7         E
And hold on to your dreams


E
Cant you feel the magic
A
Feel it everywhere
E
Can't you hear the music
A
There's something in the air
Em           F#m
Join the celebration
D             A
Deep within a song
Em              F#m
Celebrate these feelings
D                    A
You know it can't be wrong


[Chorus]

E    B7
Hold on
D               A
Hold on to your dreams
E    B7
Hold on
D              A
Even though it seems
E        B7
Everyone around you
D                A
Has there little schemes
E         B7
Listen to your heart
F#m    A B7         E
And hold on to your dreams


E            G
Caught up in routine
A
You've got to fake it
E                   G
Time won't wait for us
A
We've got to make it
E                   G
Faith gives you the chance
A
You've got to take it
B7
Take it

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
