[Verse 1]
GHolidays seem Emcolder this year
He grows Bm7older each year, but that's not Amwhy
These Gpast few days he's been Emholding back tears
You can't Bm7break around here, boy don't Amcry
Cadd9Longing for a Bm7reason to keep Am7going
Cadd9Hoping that he'll Bm7find a way Am7home
There's a Gtreacherous road, a path of Emdemons and stone
It's all Bm7crumbling slow, and he can't Amwalk it all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9Longing for a Bm7reason to keep Am7going
Cadd9Hoping that he'll Bm7find a way Am7home
[Chorus]
As he starts to Cadd9fade the choices he's Bm7made slowly sink Am7in
Is he holding Cadd9on to something that's Bm7gone, or does she want Am7him
Are these feelings Cadd9real, or does he just Bm7feel a Am7hole in his chest that he wants to be healed
Cadd9Is he holding Bm7on, or is it holding Cadd9himBm7  Am7  
[Verse 2]
Forget the Gholidays, his hearts Emcolder this year
His mind's Bm7older this year, and her love's Amwhy
Soon come Gbrighter days, warm Emweather is near
It gets Bm7nice around here, the sun's not Amwhy
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9Longing for a Bm7reason to keep Am7going
Cadd9Hoping that he'll Bm7find a way Am7home
[Chorus]
As he starts to Cadd9fade the choices he's Bm7made slowly sink Am7in
Is he holding Cadd9on to something that's Bm7gone, or does she want Am7him
Are these feelings Cadd9real, or does he just Bm7feel a Am7hole in his chest that he wants to be healed
Cadd9Is he holding Bm7on, or is it holding Cadd9himBm7  Am7  
[Post-Chorus]
Is it holding Cadd9him
Bm7Ooh, Am7ooooooh
[Outro]
30 long Cadd9days of nothing but Bm7pain, and nights filled with Am7sin
But he's moving Cadd9on, the feelings are Bm7gone, the light has gone Am7dim
But what if a Cadd9wire catches on Bm7fire, and the Am7flames of love are his hearts desire
Cadd9Is he holding Bm7on
