Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton - holding on to nothing
[Intro]
D G D A D
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to
[Verse 1]
G D
I'm so tired of holding on to nothing
G
The years have shown no kindness
D A
For the hard times we've been through
D G
We've squeezed the life from every dream
D
And still go right on bluffing
G D A D
With really nothing left to hold on to
[Chorus]
G
Oh why do we keep holding on
D
With nothing left to hold on to
G
Let's be honest with each other
D A
That's the least that we can do
D G D
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
D G D A D
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to
[Verse 2]
G D
We were young and foolishly mistaken
G D A
Victims of a passion much too strong to be denied
D G D
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been faking
G D A D
God only knows how long how hard we've tried
[Chorus]
G
Oh why do we keep holding on
D
With nothing left to hold on to
G
Let's be honest with each other
D A
That's the least that we can do
D G D
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
D G D A D
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to
D G D A D
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to
