Intro: Eb Bb Gm F

Eb                   Bb
Heard the calling, got the hell out
Gm                 F
Now I'm tired of treading water
Eb                     Bb
I've been dead set on these big dreams
Gm                 F
and I'm plotting all my surefire schemes

Eb                Bb
you tell me, "you're far too old
Gm              F
to stand on a glass earth throwing stones
Eb                Bb
put all of your faith in hope"
Gm                              F
I've drained my soul to keep me just

Eb         Bb                 Gm         F
Hanging on, to keep me hanging on to keep me
Eb         Bb                 Gm         F
Hanging on, to keep me, hanging on to keep me just…

Intro(2x)

Eb                   Bb
I've been falling through the dream mine
Gm                 F
And I'm hoping at the bottom
Eb                          Bb
All the mountains of coins I've thrown
Gm                            F   Eb
Have bought the wish I cast them for

                         Bb
And it won't be a reap-less sow
Gm               F                       Eb
Don't tell me, "this garden won't grow hope,
                      Bb
you'll bear only rose-less thorns"
Gm                F
enough's been born to keep me just

Eb         Bb                 Gm         F
Hanging on, to keep me hanging on to keep me
Eb         Bb                 Gm         F
Hanging on, to keep me, hanging on to keep me just…

Don't leave me desperate and alone
Eb                  Bb
When all other light is gone
Gm          F
A single spark is all I need

Eb                       Bb
To keep whole the earth below
Gm                 F
To dig down for life beneath the snow

To carry, to carry on, to carry on,
