Standard (EADGBE)
(chords are listed above the lyrics)
shake up the future, rattle its cage
roll down the road to the next show that doesn't pay oh
I'm still holdin' on to rock n roll
holdin' on to rock n roll
15 years growin' up in bars
sleepin' on floors playin' cheap guitars oh
I'm still holdin' on to rock n roll
holdin' on to rock n roll
the late late nights, and the early day jobs
rust on the strings and blood on the knobs oh
I'm still holdin' on to rock n roll
holdin' on to rock n roll
with many people I've shared a stage
they moved on and I never change oh
I'm still holdin' on to rock n roll
holdin' on to rock n roll
maybe I've wasted all my time like a fool
but I've heard pain tear itself out of a piece of wood
so wake me up when we get to where we're playin' tonight
so I can call my family, tell 'em I'm still alive
we'll walk on that stage and play like it's the last time
'cause it might be, yeah it might be, turn the amps on and count it out
close your eyes, take a breath, this is what it's like to live without doubt
yeah this is what it's like to live without doubt
shake up the future, rattle its cage
roll down the road to the next show that doesn't paaaa-aahay
