Intro line 1
C  G/B  Am G F G C (Csus4)


[Verse 1]
C            F                 Dm     G
Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
Em                 Am          Dm            Ab
And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
C                  F                 Dm    G
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
    Em                      Am    Dm              Ab
But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God


[Chorus 1]
            C    G/B Am    Em    F    G   C
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
C    G/B Am    Em    F    G   C
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round


[Verse 2]
C            F                 Dm     G
There's people around who tell you that they know
Em                 Am          Dm            Ab
And places where they send you and it's easy to go
C                      F                   Dm            G
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row
     Em                      Am    Dm              Ab
But you know you don't have to, you can just say, "No"


[Chorus 2]
          C    G/B Am    Em    F    G   C
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
C    G/B Am    Em    F    G   C
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
          C    G/B Am    Em    F    G   C
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
C    G/B Am    Em    F    G   C
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round


[Bridge]
Dm                          F
    I've been built up and trusted,
Dm                 F
    Broke down and busted
Dm             Em           Fm         Gm         Am
But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours if we can


      C    Am
Just hold on,
 F   C
hold on
C    Am
Hold on,
F   C
hold on


[Verse 3]
C            F                 Dm     G
Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
Em                 Am            Dm        Ab
And I've been trying hard against strong odds
C                  F                 Dm   G
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
           Em                 Am
Well, I'll fall if I don't fight
Dm                 Ab
And at my side is God


[Chorus 3]
           C    G/B Am    Em    F    G   C
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
C    G/B Am    Em    F    G   C
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
           C    G/B Am    Em    F    G   C
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
C    G/B Am    Em    F    G   C
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round

C    Am
Hold on,
