D D7
There are people who don't know me
G D
Who must think I got it made
D
From all outward appearances
E7 A
I guess it looks that way
D D7
I've got good friends and family
G D
They let me know they care
G D
I got a job to keep me going
A D
And a car to get me there
A G A D
I'm holding my own, but I'd rather be holding you
A G A D
I can make it alone, but not like I made it with you
Bm G A D
Without here, this house just ain't no home
G G/F# Em A D
How long can I go on holding my own
There's brand new show that's playing
At the movies down the street
I'll probably go there after work
Then stop somewhere to eat
I got cable on my TV
And I'll leave her on all night
While I doze off to sleep and dream that I'm alright
Chorus
How long can I go on holding my own
