Verse
Ebmin
Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment lasts forever
When you feel you've lost your way
Ebmin
What if your chances are already gone
I started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
To fight and never walk away
Ebmin
So here I am still
holding on...
Chorus
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
Ebmin
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dream
Ebmin
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries
Ebmin - B - Gb - Db
Verse 2
Ebmin
I fought to the limit to stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets
Don't know where the future's headin
But nothin's gonna bring me down
Ebmin
Jumped every bridge, I've run every light
I've risked being safe, I always knew why
I always knew why
Ebmin
So here I am still
Holding on
Chorus 2
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
Ebmin
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dream
Ebmin
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
Bridge
You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
There's nothing beneath ya
Break every rule cuz there's nothing between you and your dreams
