D    A/C# G/B Em G Em    D   A/C#
Wake up,            I'm alive
D    A/C# G/B Em G Em          D   A/C#
One more day,        yeah I'm alive
D            A/C#     G/B Em             G     Em            D   A/C#
Think of the ones you love  and what they want and what they need
D       A/C#   G/B  Em                    G     Em    D   A/C#
Running away from the misery of those who flatter to mislead

[Chorus]
Em              D              A
Hold on to your life, to your dreams
          Bm            C9
Don't get lost in their schemes
          Em          A
Just hold on to your dreams
Em              D              A
Hold on to your head, to your heart
          Bm            C9
Never stop what you can't start
          Em          A
Just hold on to your heart

[Verse 2]
D   A/C# G/B   Em G Em               D   A/C#
Simple   pleasures       are all we need
D   A/C# G/B   Em G Em         D   A/C#
Sinful leisure,    it's all we need
D       A/C#      G/B   Em         G      Em        D   A/C#
I don't hear much fanfare for the common man these days
D       A/C#    G/B  Em           G     Em          D   A/C#
We got lost in the mirror but the mirror looks both ways


[Chorus]
Em              D              A
Hold on to your life, to your dreams
          Bm            C9
Don't get lost in their schemes
          Em          A
Just hold on to your dreams

Hold on to your head, to your heart

Just hold on to your heart


[Chorus]

Just hold on to your dreams
Em              D              A
Hold on to your head, to your heart
          Bm            C9
Never stop what you can't start
          Em          A
Just hold on to your heart


[Chorus]
Em              D              A
Hold on to your life, to your dreams
