G
So you flung your fist high in the air
C
But the world remained the same
D
And all the demonstrations
Bm7 Em
Filtered out through graduation
C
And the times that were a changing
D
Never changed
G
Freedom takes on new meaning
C
When you have a family of five
D Bm7 Em
And peace and revolution dissolved in its own solution
C
When you're fighting for your life
D
Just to survive
[Chorus]
NC
It's then you've gotta
C G C G
Hold on - for what you believe in
C G D
Hold on - don't let it fade
NC
Still you've gotta
C G C G
Be strong - find yourself a reason
C D
You never change the world
Bm7 Em
But just the same
C
You've gotta hold on stronger
D C G
Each and every day, ya
[Verse 2]
G
When the night creeps in so hollow
C
When the silence makes you scream
D
When you're so damned scared of failure
Bm7 Em
When the world's burned out it's saviors
C D
When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream
[Chorus]
NC
It's then you've gotta
C G C G
Hold on - for what you believe in
C G D
Hold on - don't let it fade
NC (Or D)
Still you've gotta
C G C G
Be strong - find yourself a reason
C D
No-one changed the world
Bm7 Em
But just the same
C D
You've gotta hold on to yourself
NC C
Or else you'll fade
[Outro]
C G
Or else you'll fade
C G
Or else you'll fade
D G
Or else you'll fade
