Dm   G            Dm G
If I close my eyes
Dm   A       F          G
I'm afraid I won't wake up
Dm   G              Dm G
If I stop and listen
Dm   A          F        G
I'm afraid I'll hear too much

[Chorus]
Dm        A       F      G
Trying to hold on to the earth
Dm        A       F      G
Trying to hold on to the earth
Dm        A       F      G           Dm G Dm G Dm G Dm G
Trying to hold on to the earth, earth

[Verse 2]
           Dm         G       Dm G
I've got a long black Cadillac
Dm     A       F      G
Marble hot tub in the back
Dm        G        Dm G
Champagne waterfall
Dm         A             F           G
Solid gold question mark twenty feet tall
Dm         A             F           G
Solid gold question mark twenty feet tall

[Chorus]
Dm        A       F      G
Trying to hold on to the earth
Dm        A       F      G
Trying to hold on to the earth
Dm      A      F         G            Dm G Dm G Dm G Dm G A
Holding on for what it's worth, worth

[Bridge]
       Dm               A
Try to paint a world of shapes
         G                     A
Over the holes as we're falling
              Dm             A
The tightened grip is our mistake
         G
As we're trying to hold on, hold on, hold on
A                                 Dm G Dm G Dm G Dm G
Trying to hold on, hold on to the earth

[Verse 3]
Dm      G           Dm G
Looking for his name
Dm     A          F         G
Wet on brave lips carved on road
Dm       G              Dm G
Look for flame and mercy
Dm        A      F        G
Hope that tired hands can hold

[Chorus]
Dm        A       F      G
Trying to hold on to the earth
Dm        A       F      G
Trying to hold on to the earth
Dm      A       F        G           Dm G Dm G
Holding on for what it's worth, worth
Dm        A       F      G           Dm G Dm G
Trying to hold on to the earth, earth
Dm        A       F      G    Dm G Dm G Dm G Dm
Trying to hold on to the earth
