D7+/9                   G7+  
Holding back the years  
D7+/9                                 G7+   
Thinking of the fear I've had so long  
D7+/9                    G7+  
When somebody hears  
D7+/9                        G7+  
Listen to the fear that's gone  
D7+/9                               G7+   
Strangled by the wishes of Pater  
D7+/9                          G7+   
Hoping for the arms of Mater  
D7+/9                           G7+  
Get to meet her sooner or later  
D7+/9            G7+  
I'll keep holding on  
D7+/9             G7+  
I'll keep holding on  
D7+/9                G7+  
Holding back the years  
D7+/9                                       G7+  
Chance for me escape from all I've know
