Holding On To You Chords

(ver. 2)
Story Of The Year
****NOTE**** 
1) Read the notes on the Bridge and Outro BEFORE you start playing. 
2) If you are playing this song just by yourself, I think it sounds better if you replace the Dsus4 with G in the VERSE and BRIDGE. But in the original version of the song they use the chords as listed below.

CAPO ON 1

Intro - Em C Dsus4 D

(Verse)
Em           C              Dsus4
     Another year's gone so fast
        D                Em
Another life becomes the past
          C
Under the weight of dreams
       Dsus4                   D
That I never thought would last
           Em
Feelings clash
       C               Dsus4
A satellite across the globe
            D               Em
This window seat becomes my home
      C               Dsus4          D          Em
I lay awake for hours staring at the world below


(Chorus)
C          G             D
  Into the waves again I go
              C 
Holding on to you
          G              D
I found a way to make it through
                  Em
By holding on to you


(Verse)
        C                Dsus4
Another night just slips away
            D                 Em
Wishing the time would let me stay
         C                            Dsus4        D
Stuck in between two lives that could never be the same
     Em            C                Dsus4
I remain without a chance to say to you
           D               Em
That every word I said was true
      C                    Dsus4             D
I lay awake all night just staring back at you


(Chorus)

C          G             D
  Into the waves again I go
              C 
Holding on to you
          G              D
I found a way to make it through
                    Em Em D (Each chord is one strum)
By holding on to you


(Bridge) - Note that for this part each chord is one strum except when playing C

Em Em   D        Em  Em    D       C
   Just one more day we'll make it though
     Em Em D   Em Em    D        Em   Em  D      C
Will you        - still feel the same way that I do

(Resume to normal strumming now)
       Em  C  
That I do 
Dsus4     D              Em  C
No    you feel the way I do
Dsus4     D (one strum on D)
No


(Chorus)
C          G             D
  Into the waves again I go
              C 
Holding on to you
          G              D
I found a way to make it through
              C 
Holding on to you                 
         G             D
Into the waves again I go
              C 
Holding on to you
          G              D
I found a way to make it through
                      Em Em D (Each chord is one strum)
So I'm holding on to you


(Outro)Just like the bridge each chord is one strum, this time even the C

Em Em   D        Em  Em    D       C
   Just one more day we'll make it though
G                D
   We'll make it through
