| Em C | G D | 4x
[Verse 1]
D E
Staring at the bottom and the memories of long ago
D E
Try to pull yourself up loose that all time low
D
Still it wants to bring you down
E
Wants to steal your crown
D E
Try to wrap it up and just give it all some place to go
[Chorus]
Em
Staring at a photograph
C
Of everything we used to have
G D
And memories of long ago
Em C G D
Hard to shake them now, hard to shake them now
Em
Looking back at the past
C
And why we couldn't make it last
G D
And why you ever had to go
Em C G D
Hard to take it now, hard to shake it now
D
It holds on
[Verse 2]
E
Somewhere down the road and the things you learned along the way
D E
All you won and lost, and all you had to pay
D
Still it wants to turn you round
E
Wants to steal your ground
D E
Try to wrap it up and somehow just put it all away
[Chorus]
Em
Staring at a photograph
C
Of everything we used to have
G D
And memories of long ago
Em C G D
Hard to shake them now, hard to shake them now
Em
Looking back at the past
C
And why we couldn't make it last
G D
And why you ever had to go
Em C G D
Hard to take it now, hard to shake it now
Em
It holds on
[Solo]

Em
Staring at a photograph

Hard to shake them now, hard to shake them now
Em
Looking back at the past
C
And why we couldn't make it last
G D
And why you ever had to go
Em C G D
Hard to take it now, hard to shake it now
Em C G D
It holds on

It holds on
