[Intro] 
C  Am
    (x2)
[Verse 1]
C                   Am                       C   Am
Man, you really know how to get someone down
C                   Am                       C   Am
Everything was fine, until you came around
              Em                            F
And I've been chasing after dreamers in the clouds
      Em                       F
After all wasn't I the one who said
                         Dm
To keep your feet on the ground?
Dm
Man, you really brought me back down
[Chorus]
F         C           G
Hold onto hope if you got it
F            C        G
Don't let it go for nobody
F                 C           G
And they say that dreaming is free
F              C           G
                              N.C.
But I wouldn't care what it cost me
[Verse 2]
C                  Am                       C       Am
You got me tied up, but I stay close to the window
C                   Am                        C         Am
And I talk to myself about the places that I used to go
           Em                            F
I'm hoping someday maybe I'll just float away
         Em                       F
And I'll forget every cynical thing you said
                       Dm
When you gonna hear me out?
Dm
Man, you really bring me down
[Chorus]
F         C           G
Hold onto hope if you got it
F            C        G
Don't let it go for nobody
F                 C           G
And they say that dreaming is free
F               C            G
                               N.C. 
But I wouldn't care what it cost me

F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7    C
G                       F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7    C
  Reality will break your heart
G                          F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7   C
  Survival will not be the hardest part
G                             F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7    C
  It's keeping all your hopes alive
             G               F
When all the rest of you has died
   G
So let it break your heart
[Chorus]
F         C           G
Hold onto hope if you got it
F             C         G
Don't let it go for nobody
F         C           G
Hold onto hope if you got it
F         C           G
Don't let it go for nobody
F                 C           G
And they say that dreaming is free
F              C           G
                               N.C
But I wouldn't care what it cost me
