Beth Nielsen Chapman  Life Hold On written by Beth Nielsen Chapman

http://www.stgenesis.org/beth/

Eb

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
