Holding On 
By Blue Rodeo 
Transcribed by Ryan Robson [thunderman99@hotmail.com] 

[C] I wouldn’t [G] mind if you [Em] told me I was [F] wasting time 
It’s [C] hard for me [G] here to try to [Em] say these things with [F]you so near 
I’m [C] already un-[F]done, [C] already un-[F]done 

[C] Now is the [G] time, I should [Em] leave these useless [F] things behind 
But [C] fool that I [G] am, I try to [Em] stay inside of your [F] latest plan 
I’m [C] already un-[F]done, [C] [F] 

[C] This time I promised myself that [E] I wouldn’t sink so far 
But [Am] here I am I’m [G] wrapped around you [D/F#] in the glow of this empty bar 
[C] I wish I could [E] hold my tongue and [F] finally say goodnight 
[C] Am I holding [G] on too tight [F] 

[C] Hours a-[G]go I could [Em] pride myself on [F] some control 
But [C] plans that are [G] made disap-[Em]pear with every [F] drink that’s laid 
I’m [C] already un-[F]done, [C] already un-[F]done 

[C] Yeah there’s a way, but I can’t [E] even keep one single word I [Am] say 
‘Cause I’ve been [G] wrapped around your [D/F#] finger since the very first day 
[C] I wish my [E] legs would work, I could [F] run out in the night 
[C] Am I holding [G] on too tight [F] 

Bridge [Bb, F, A7, Dm, Bb, F, C, E, Am, G, D/F#] 

[C] I wouldn’t [G] mind if you [Em] put me out of my [F] hurt sometime 
I’m [C] waving the [G] flag chasing [Em] beauty shouldn’t be [F] such a drag 
I’m [C] already un-[F]done, [C] already un-[F]done 

[C] Now I am lost and I can’t [E] even feel my head 
While [A] you and all your [G] friends were laughing [D/F#] about something you wish you’d said 
[C] I wish I could [E] just reach up and [F] turn out every light 
[C] Am I holding [G] on too tight [F] 
Yes I [C] know I’m holding [G] too tight [F] [C]
