I want to Bbmaj7know what you thought, fight what you fought
CSee how you saw
Or is it all just piffle stuffed with the riffle of your dreams

You're the real go-getter
I beClieve in scars, the heart of the rebel
Truth of the matter: did it matter to you?Dm  
DmGenet, I want to celebrate spring,

Can you find in me what I lost in you

And you will hear that on the end on the

[Verse I]

Genet, is it still ok

Bbmaj7

I want to know what you thought, fight what you fought

See how you saw

Or is it all just piffle stuffed with the riffle of your dreams

Dm Bbmaj7

All that we see or seem: letters on letters from the old machine

You're the real go-getter

I believe in scars, the heart of the rebel

Truth of the matter: did it matter to you?

Genet, I want to celebrate spring,

Bbmaj7

early in the fields with the dew on our skin

Coffee to my lips, tapping on the table with my fingertips

We're ok, today is another day

[Chorus I]

Am Fmaj7 G

I keep holding on to you

Am Fmaj7 C Dm

I keep holding on to you

[Verse II]

Genet, what is art if art is us

Fmaj7

It's a cultural thing, maybe a misunderstanding

Honesty, a magnet to the truth

Can you find in me what I lost in you

I fake a smile

And you will hear that on the end on the

Fmaj7

line your lonely eyes are just like mine

And it's a matter of time, hurry home

I keep a hollow hope to the dial-tone

[Chorus II]

Am Fmaj7 C

I keep holding on

Fmaj7 C Dm

I'm holding on to you

Am Fmaj7 C

I keep holding on

Fmaj7 C Dm

I'm holding on to you

Am G

To you-ou

[Verse III]

Genet, we're in the heart of the game

Grow from the rocks, from the green, from the pain

I fight, because I crave to endow the

moment, the past, the future, the now

Monet said; ‘Find the right light when you paint. Dig inside.'

So I give in to my vowels, to my sins

I cut the grain to harvest you

Genet, let's try to regain

I don't believe in the end of this game

I live, not to be safe, to be right,

it's all or nothing now or we never might

Give me a wave I can ride all the

way down till we're back with the tide

Love, don't you think it's enough

We're nowhere together if we can't praise what we've got

G D Bm G D G D

if we can't praise what we've got

[Chorus III]

Bm F#m G D

I, keep holding on

G D Em

I'm holding on to you

Bm A Bm

IIIIIIII

G D Em Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm

Keep holding on to you -ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou
