Holding On

Em   G   Am   Em
Em   G   Am   Em

[Verse 1]
Em
  Holding hands with the devil
G
  Taken to a higher level
Am
  Leaving everything disheveled
Em
  What have I become?
Em
  On the surface I try to keep it all together
G
  Underneath is a demon watching like no other
Am
  Telling me it’ll keep me safe, if I don’t strain the tether
Em
  I keep holding on

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em                             G
Hear it whisper, fissure my sanity
                         Am
I fear it will consume my life I ask why me
         Em
I tell myself to just keep holding on

[Chorus 1]
Em
  Think back into the day
G                                Am
  When I was lost and so afraid (Never had a home)
                            Em
I’ve turned a darker shade (Never had a home. Can I let it go, let it go)
Em  G
Oh, oh
Am
Yea
                Em
Can I let it go? I keep holding on

[Verse 2]
Em
  I think my body is turning
     G
Everything is fading grey
                                          Am
I’m almost gone are you certain, I’ll be okay?
Taking control becomes the remedy
Em
  Screaming victims have become my favorite melody, oh yea
Em                                G
  If you side with me, there’s no doubt
                                    Am
That the crime will be payed, don’t shout
Taking control becomes the remedy
Em
  I’m symbiotic, lacking empathy, the enemy

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em                             G
Hear it whisper, fissure my sanity
                         Am
I fear it will consume my life I ask why me
         Em
I tell myself to just keep holding on

[Chorus 2]
Em
  Think back into the day
G                                Am
  When I was lost and so afraid (Never had a home)
                            Em
I’ve turned a darker shade (Never had a home. Can I let it go, let it go)
Em  G
Oh, oh
Am
Yea
                Em
Can I let it go? I keep holding on
Em   G   Am   Em
