Hold On You Belong People Like Us

A A E E


[Verse 1]
      A
They said take that hat off
E
You can’t wear your hair short
F#m                    D
You’re just a little child
     A
And you’re too young to know yourself
      E
When you grow up, you’ll want something else
F#m                          D
Don’t let your thoughts run wild
      A
They told me to stay pretty faced
 E
Don’t you change what God creates
F#m               D
You’re our Sarah Belle
 A
Don’t you pick a new name,
Esus4
That’s not what your mama gave
F#m                  D
Or you’ll be by yourself


[Chorus]
  F#m         E
Hold on, hold on
           D              A
I don’t belong, I don’t belong
         F#m       E        D   A
I’m so scared, and I’m so blue
         F#m                         Esus4
And I’m holding on so tightly, I’ll tell them off politely
          D
And the going gets more rough the longer I stay true
 F#m           E          D
Sometimes you just gotta push through
 F#m           E              D
I guess it’s something to get used to

[Verse 2]
    A
They said share your story
   Esus4
Come on, say one thing
F#m                 D
That you wish you knew
     A
The wisdom from your now days
          Esus4
From the marches and the pride parades
F#m                    Dsus2
But have you seen the news?
 A
How did you make it?
 Esus4
How’d you stay so patient?
 F#m7            Dsus2
When the laws attack?
          A
And what about this legislation?
Esus4
Will my family embrace it?
   F#m7              D
Or will they have my back?


[Chorus]
    F#m       E
Hold on, hold on
          D         A
You belong, you belong
    F#m      E        D
I once was scared like you
       F#m
And I held on so tightly
   E
I told them off politely
        D                           D
And the going, it gets easier the longer you push through
 F#m                 Esus4              Dsus2
It’s just something people like us get used to
  F#m              E                         Dsus2
It’s just something you’re gonna have to get used to


[Chorus]
     F#m    Esus4
Hold on, hold on
         D           A
You belong, you belong
    F#m       E       D
I once was scared like you
    F#m
So hold on so tightly
 E
Tell them off politely
         Dsus2
And the going, it gets easier the longer you push through
     F#m             Esus4              D
It’s just something people like us get used to
     F#m             E                      D
It’s just something you’re gonna have to get used to
      F#m            E                  D
It’s just something people like us get used to
      F#m7           E                       D
It’s just something you’re gonna have to get used to


[Outro]
    F#m       E
Hold on, Hold on
        D           A
You belong, you belong
    F#m       E        Dmaj7
Hold on, Hold on, you belong
     F#m      E          D           A
Hold on, hold on, You belong, you belong
    F#m       E        D     D
Hold on, hold on, hold on
    A
Hold on
