Holding Back the Year

Rollin' from your brat sarcastic eye A A California tear, a drop of gold A Maybe you were cold, yeah, so was I Bm Holdin' back E A Holdin' back the year A The year before the poison took its toll A Made you paper thin, me- wrinkled, old A Eventually, yeah, finally it caught up Bm E Bm I held you back, grabbed you by the arm E A I played upon your fear F#m A#m E A Rollin' down the window won't I Bm F#m E A Order up some breakfast if I can Bm Hold me back E Bm Hold me by the arm E A Wipe away my tear Esus4 Wipe away my tear ABAEBE A The story ends with friends and early nights A E A A kitten grown to cat and no more fight A This is how we stay together, love Bm Holdin' back E A Holdin' back the year Bm Hold me back E Bm Grab me by the arm E Bm E Whisper in my ear A Holdin' back the year BFEA A Holdin' back the year A
