[Verse 1]
     A
When I met you I was just a kid
D
Holes in my pockets, didn't care where I've been
         G                                 A
Then you picked me up, said baby let's get clean
          A
You don't turn around when you walk away
          D
You don't close your eyes when you hear 'em say
G                                       A
Those city lights will blind you if you stare


[Chorus]
               D                  A
This is how it feels to hold onto love
               D                  A
This is how it feels to hold onto love


[Verse 2]
    A
You told me when you were twenty-three
      D
You'd rather stop your heart than watch it bleed
    G                              A
But I'm still dying, lying on your floor
A
Looking up, tryna find the stars
         D
But it's hard to sleep through all these scars
         G                                        A
When you told me to shine, that's when you set me free...yeah, yeah


[Chorus]
               D                  A
This is how it feels to hold onto love
               D                  A
This is how it feels to hold onto love


[Bridge]
F#m
The years keep coming
A
Oh, the years keep coming
F#m                             A      A
I keep coming, calling out your name
E               Bm
Make it end, or make it begin again
E                      Bm                         A
I will make it end, or make it begin again...hey, hey

This is how it feels to hold onto love                                     (hold on)
               D                  A
This is how it feels to hold onto love                                     (hold on)
               D                  A
This is how it feels to hold onto love                                     (hold on)
                   (You've got to hold, baby, you've got to hold onto love)
               D                  A
This is how it feels to hold onto love                                     (hold on)
                   (Oooh,              hold onto love)
