D             G
Music holds a secret
   A                    G
To know it can make you whole
D               G
It's not just a game of notes
         A                  G
It's the sounds inside your soul
    Em           F#m
The magic of the melody
     D           Cadd9  G
Runs through you like a stream
Em                 F#m
Notes that play go through you mind
       Bm                G                 F#    B7
Like a dream ... (like a dream) ... like a dream

(up tempo)

  E                      A
I sing this song for the common man
        E               A
For the people in    dispair
  E                  A
I bring my song in   to the world
      E               A
And I sing it every   where
    E                 B7
The simple truth lies waiting there
    D           A
For everyone to share

   E    B7
So hold on
    D               A
And I will take you there
E    B7
Hold on
    F#m    A    B7  E
And I will take you there

(Hard)

E B7 D A
E B7 D A
E B7 D A
...

E (stop)
Then the music takes your soul
A
Lost without a trace
E (stop)
Turns you 'round and puts you down
A
And puts you in you place
    Em                 F#m
A - nother stage,     another picture
    D             A
A - nother pretty face
    Em               F#m
A - nother chance to lose yourself
D             A
In the end of space

[Chorus]
E    B7
Hold on
D               A
Hold on to your dreams
E    B7
Hold on
D              A
Even though it seems
E            B7
Everyone    around you
D                A
Has there little schemes
E              B7
Listen to your heart
F#m  A   B7         E
Ho - old on to your dreams

Can't you feel the magic
Feel it everywhere
Can't you hear the music
There's something in the air
Join the celebration
Deep inside a song
Celebrate these feelings
You know it can't be wrong

[Chorus]

Hold on
Hold on

(slower and prepare those vocal chords)
E                G
Hanging with the team
              A
You've got to fake it
E                   G
Time won't wait for us
             A
We've got to make it
E                   G
Faith gives you the chance
              A
You've got to take it
B7
Take it

(instrumental bit ... drums ... Rik Emmett guitar wailing)

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
...

(fade)
