[Chorus]
Cm
If I dare to ask it, then I dare it to be true
Cm
If I dare to risk it, then I know that I'm willing to
Cm
If I dare to want this, to want more than I have
Fm G# Gm Cm
Then I dare to believe I'll have it in the end
[Verse 1]
Cm
You climbed the mountain, sent pictures of the view
Cm
And still can't believe when I started climbing, too
Cm
You haven't heard that I'm not afraid to fall
Cm
That I'm not deterred yet until I tell them all
[Hook]

I am holding out for more than what I have now
Cm Fm A# Cm
I'm holding out
[Verse 2]
Cm
I don't want your pity, I won't use your little scraps
Cm
I don't build my cities with what could get taken back
Cm
I don't need permission to rise up when it hurts
Cm
You don't have to listen, but you'll hear me
Cm
Mark my words
[Hook]
Cm A# D# Cm
I am holding out for more than what I have now
A# Gm
I'm holding out
[Bridge]

When the room gets dark, and I am quiet

There's a voice that's soft, like someone's silhouette
Fm Gm D# Fm A# Gm
Saying, "Don't let me go yet"
[Hook]

I am holding out
Gm D# Fm A# Gm
I am holding out for more than what I have now

I'm holding out

If I dare to risk it, then I know that I'm willing to

Then I dare to believe I'll have it in the end
