B             F#               E
We don’t have time left to regret
      B                F#                E
(Hold on) It will take more than common sense
      B                F#                  E
(Hold on) So stop your wondering, take a stand
      B                         F#
(Hold on) Cause there's more to life than just to
 E
live (Hold on)

Chorus:
         B
Cause an empty room can be so loud
         F#                        Gdim
It's too many tears to drown them out
   G#m
So hold on, hold on
 E
Hold on, hold on

One single smile, a helping hand (Hold on)
It's not that hard to be a friend (Hold on)
So don’t give up, stand 'til the end (Hold on)
'Cause there's more to life than just to live
(Hold on)

Chorus:
'Cause an empty room can be so loud
It's too many tears to drown them out
So hold on (Hold on)
Hold on (Hold on)
When you love someone and they break your heart
Don’t give up on love, have faith, restart
Just hold on (Hold on)
Hold on (Hold on)

         B
When it falls apart and you're feeling lost
         F#             Gdim
All your hope is gone, don’t forget to
G#m
Hold on
E
Hold on
