Holdin' On Capo 1
[Intro]
D G
[Verse 1]
 There's a DMountain Dew can with lipstick on it, rollin' round his truck bed
 GHe just leaves it back there, one of the things he has left Dof her
 When he Ddrives into the late day sun, you can see a set of footprints
 GHe ain't goin' to clean that windshield; he’d rather just live with Dthe hurt
[Chorus]
 He's holdin' Amon to the Gwheel, to the Dway she made him Afeel
 To the Amshifter, to the Gpictures, every Dprecious moment Awith her
 Like the Bmleft behind Acolors in the Gsky, when the F#msun is Egone……
 He's holdin' Don,  oh, Ghe's holdin' on
[Verse 2]
 There's that Dvoicemail on his cell phone he don't dare erase
 She Gended with I love you, and he saves it just in case
 It might Dstill be true, no, he ain't through
[Chorus]
 He's holdin' Amon to the Gwheel, to the Dway she made him Afeel
 To the Amshifter, to the Gpictures, every Dprecious moment Awith her
 Like the Bmleft behind Acolors in the Gsky, when the F#msun is Egone……
 He's holdin' Don to the Empast, to the last time he F#mheld her
 The breath on his neck, Gthe three words she said
[Break]
   Am    G   DOh, oh, Amoh  G  D  
[Bridge]
 He's holdin' Amon to the Gwheel, to the Dway she made him Afeel
 To the Amshifter, to the Gpictures, every Dprecious moment Awith her
[Tag]
 He's holdin' Amon,   G   Dyeah, He's holdin' Amon,  G  D  
 He's holdin' on  D     Am    G   DHe's holdin' Amon G  D  Am  G  D

She ended with I love you, and he saves it just in case

It might still be true, no, he ain't through
