Dm        F
How many times
      Dm               F
Do we tire of all the little battles
Dm           F
Threaten to call it quits
Dm          F
Tempted to cut and run

How many times
Do we weather out the stormy evenings
Long to slam the front door
Drive away into the setting sun

Chorus:
Dm         C
Keep going on till dawn
Dm                    F      G        Dm
How many times must another line be drawn
             C
We could be down and gone
        Dm    F G
But we hold on

Keep going on till dawn
How many times must another line be drawn
We could be down and gone
But we hold on

How many times
Do we chaff against the repetition
Straining against the faith
Measured out in coffee breaks

How many times
Do we swallow our ambition
Long to give up the same old way
Find another road to take

Chorus:
Keep going on till dawn
How many times must another line be drawn
We could be down and gone
But we hold on

Keep holding on so long
Cause there's a chance
that we might not be so wrong
We could be down and gone
But we hold on

How many times
Do we wonder if it's even worth it
There's got to be some other way
Way to get me through the day

Chorus:
Keep going on till dawn
How many times must another line be drawn
We could be down and gone
But we hold on

Keep going on till dawn
How many times must another line be drawn
We could be down and gone
But we hold on
