I was swinging on the swings when I was a little girl
Cm
Trying to get a handle on the big, wide world
Eb
When I noticed all the grass in the cracks in the concrete
Cm
I said, "Where there's a will, there's a way around anything"
Ab Bb
Life holds on
Eb
Given the slightest chance
Ab
For the weak and the strong
Bb Eb
Life holds on
Eb
There was a third grade boy that we knew in school
Cm
He was found face down in a swimming pool
Eb
And as they worked on that kid every minute was an hour
Cm
And when his eyes fluttered open we could feel that power
Ab Bb
Life holds on
Eb
Given the slightest chance
Ab
For the week and the strong
Bb Cm Ab Bb Eb
Life holds on life hold on life hold on
Db Cm
Sirens screaming down my street
Bb Ab
Fading as they go
Db Cm
Whining somewhere far away
Bb Ab
To someone I don't know
Still, I say a little prayer
Bb
There's always hope
Eb
Life holds on
Eb
Through the window in the kitchen I can see outside
Cm
My kids taking turns coming down the slide
Eb
I try not to worry as they grow a little every day
Cm
I've just got believe they're gonna find their way
Ab Bb
Life holds on
Eb
Given the slightest chance
Ab
For the week and the strong
Bb Cm Ab Bb Cm Ab Bb Eb
Life holds on life hold on life hold on life holds on
