Capo 2
[Intro]
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
[Verse 1]
D D7
There are people who do not know me
G D
Who must think I've got it made
D
From all outward appearances
E7 A
I guess it looks that way
D D7
I've got good friends and family
G D
They let me know they care
G D
I got a job to keep me going
A D
And a car to get me there
[Chorus]
A
I'm holding my own
G A D
But I'd rather be holding you
A
I can make it alone
G A D
But not like I made it with you
Bm
Without you here
G D
This house just ain't no home
G Em A D
How long can I go on holding my own
[Interlude]
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
[Verse 2]
D D7
There is brand new show that is playing
G D
At the movies down the street
D
I'll probably go there after work
E7 A
Then stop somewhere to eat
D D7
I've got cable on my TV
G D
And I'll leave her on all night
G D
While I doze off to sleep
A D
And dream that I'm alright
[Chorus]
A
I'm holding my own
G A D
But I'd rather be holding you
A
I can make it alone
G A D
But not like I made it with you
Bm
Without you here
G D
This house just ain't no home
G Em A D
How long can I go on holding my own
[Outro]
G Em A D
How long can I go on holding my own
