Tom:
G D G
Hold on tight to your dream
C G
Hold on tight to your dream
C G
When you see your ship go sailing
C G
When you feel your heart is breaking
G D G
Hold tight to your dream.
It´s a long time to be gone
Time just rolls on and on
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Just hold tight to your dream
Chorus:
Em Bm Em Bm
When you get so down that you can´t get up
Am D Am D
And you want so much but you´re all out of luck
Em Bm Em Bm
When you´re so downhearted and misunderstood
Am Bm C D
Just over & over & over you could
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton reve.
Chorus.
Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream.
Oh, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream
Yeah, hold on tight...
To your dream
