          E       E7          
You gotta hold on baby
   A              E
To those you hold dear
E                         B7
Hang on to the people you love
    E            E7
Cuz death cannot part us,
   A             E  
If life already has
E           B7            A   E
Hold on to those you hold dear

And death cannot take
            A       E
What you've already lost

Hold on to those you hold dear

And time makes it harder
      A             E
Where words already failed
E           B7            A   E
Hold on to those you hold dear
