Hold On

Tom : G
  G  Em  C    G  Em
Hold on, hold on
C G
Hold onto what you've got
G Em
Hold on, hold on
C G C D
Hold onto what you've got

[Verse 1]
G Em
The world is changing in a biased way
C G
And the sword cuts both ways at last
G Em
Do we live in fear? Is our conscience clear?
C G
With so many questions I've asked

[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
Keep your loved ones safe, keep your family close
Em D
Keep your children by your side

[Chorus]
G Em
And hold on, hold on
C G
Hold onto what you've got
G Em
Sisters and mothers, fathers and brothers
C G C D
Hold onto what you've got

[Verse 2]
G Em
A change is gonna come, Sam Cooke once sang
C G
Oh, lay down that burden of hate
G Em
With cities divided and the homeless crying
C G
Equality for all someday

[Pre-Chorus]
[Bridge]
C
With the courtesy of kindness
G
And the currency of love
C Em
May the words of John Lewis never fade (Never fade)
C
To the bigots and the racists
G
And those vagabonds
D
Feel the spotlight of justice someday, oh-oh

[Outro]
G Em
Hold on, hold on
C G
Hold onto what you've got (Listen)
G Em
Hold on, hold on
C G
Hold onto what you've got
G Em
Hold on, hold on
C G
Hold onto what you've got (Sing it for me)
G Em
Hold on, hold on
C G
Hold onto what you've got
