Holding On To Nothing (CHORDS) by Porter Wagoner

[Intro]~
A                     D       A       E       A
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to


[Verse 1]~
               D             A
I'm so tired of holding on to nothing

                       D
The years have shown no kindness

       A                     E
For the hard times we've been through

A                            D
We've squeezed the life from every dream

   A
And still go right on bluffing

D                   A    E          A
With really nothing left to hold on to


[Chorus]~
                         D
Oh why do we keep holding on

            A
With nothing left to hold on to

                         D
Let's be honest with each other

          A                 E
That's the least that we can do

      A                D           A
I feel guilty when they envy me and you

             A        D       A       E      A
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to


[Verse 2]~
                 D            A
We were young and foolishly mistaken

            D                A            E
Victims of a passion much too strong to be denied

A                  D                A
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been faking

D                  A    E             A
God only knows how long how hard we've tried


[Chorus]~
                         D
Oh why do we keep holding on

            A
With nothing left to hold on to

                         D
Let's be honest with each other

          A                 E
That's the least that we can do

      A                D           A
I feel guilty when they envy me and you

             A        D       A       E      A
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to

             A       D       A       E       A
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to
