no holding on

Intro:
A  D
E   A     E   A     E   A     E   A
E         A                     E           A
Look behind these eyes, honey, what do you see? 
   E     A     E       A
I'm not sure that I know 
      E       A           E              A
And if it's the man that you imagined was me 
E     A         E               A     A  D    A   D 
Make sure that he knows there's no holding on                
            E    A
no holding on

I told you some secrets and I told you some lies 
Just 'cause you were near 
And if you didn't love me with those deep brown eyes 
I might not still be here; there's no holding on 

no holding on

no holding on

no holding on

And if you had to leave me honey I wouldn't care 
I put no faith in dreams 
And someday you might walk away and leave me somewhere 
'Cause that's what freedom means: there's no holding on 
no holding on
no holding on
no holding on

Chorus:
D               A  
Hold onto your memories 
      D               A  
But don't hold onto love 
D                      A  
Love's got a knack of disappearing 
E                 D  
Leaving you the lonely one 
E                  D
Leaving you still holding on 

Five little knuckles holding one little hand 
Just to keep it warm 
So don't start thinking that I'm that kind of man 
'Cause habits will get born; there's no holding on 
no holding on
no holding on
no holding on

Hold onto your memories 
But don't hold onto love 
Love's got a knack of disappearing 
Leaving you the lonely one 
Leaving you still holding on 

Solo Chords:
E       G    
E  A   E  A   E  A   E  A   A  D   A  D   E  A   E  A   

And if you had to leave me honey I wouldn't care 
I put no faith in dreams 
And someday you might walk away and leave me somewhere 
'Cause that's what freedom means: there's no holding on 
There's no holding on....
