 G           D/F#
You're not alone
             Em
Together we stand
                 C
I'll be by your side
                         G
You know I'll take your hand
              D#/F#
When it gets cold
                      Em
And it feels like the end
                     C
There's no place to go
                      Em C
You know I won't give in
                 Em C D
No, I won't give in

Chorus:
 G   D /F#   Em
Keep holding on
                       C
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you
I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late
This could all disappear

Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side, I will fight and defend

I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah

Chorus:
Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Chorus

Keep holding on
Keep holding on

There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
