    Verse 1
    Holding 
    back 
    the 
    years 

    Thinking 
    of 
    the 
    fear 
    I've 
    had 
    so 
    long 

    When 
    somebo
    dy 
    hears 

    Listen 
    to 
    the 
    fear 
    that's 
    gone 

    Strangled 
    by 
    the 
    wishes 
    of 
    pater 

    Hoping 
    for 
    the 
    arms 
    of 
    mater 

    Get 
    to 
    me 
    the 
    sooner 
    or 
    later, 
    oh 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    Holding 
    back 
    the 
    years 

    Chance 
    for 
    me 
    escape 

    from 
    all 
    know 

    Holding 
    back 
    the 
    tears 

    'Cause 
    nothing 
    here 
    has 
    grown 

    I've 
    wasted 
    all 
    my 
    tears 

    Wasted 
    all 
    those 
    years 

    Nothing 
    had 
    the 
    chance 
    to 
    be 
    good 

    Nothing 
    ev
    er 
    could, 
    yeah, 
    oh 

    Chorus 1
    I'll 
    keep 
    holding 
    on 

    I'll 
    keep 
    holding 
    on 

    I'll 
    keep 
    holding 
    on 

    I'll 
    keep 
    holding 
    on, 
    so 

    Solo 1
    (tight) 
    Alright 

    Alright, 
    oh 
    now 
    oh 

    Verse 3
    Well, 
    I've 
    wasted 
    all 
    my 
    tears 

    Wasted 
    all 
    of 
    those 
    years 

    And 
    nothing 
    had 
    the 

    chance 
    to 
    be 
    good 

    'Cause 
    nothing 
    ev
    er 
    could, 
    oh 
    yeah 

    Chorus 2
    Oh 

    I'll 
    keep 
    holding 
    on 

    I'll 
    keep 
    holding 
    on 

    I'll 
    keep 
    holding 
    on 

    I'll 
    keep 
    holding 
    on, 

    Holding, 
    holding 

    Holding 

    Outro 1
    On,

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
