Repeat during Em part of verse

Em
The patriots hang flags outside
Em
That's how they do it nationwide
    C                  G
But back home we don't care so much
C                           G
I might be wrong but that's how it looks
   Am                         B7
We listen to the sound of our minds

Em
I feel as though I'm losing time
Em
With hands of glory pushing rhymes
C             G
Never been so far before
C                    G
I drove for days and weeks and more
C                       D*
Hard shoulder where the chaos lies
C                     D*
An invitation to the darker side
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/greg_holden/empty_hands_crd.html ]
        C       G        Em      D*
And I'm holding on, I am holding on
     C                D*
I am holding on as my life it slips away
C      G         Em      D*
Holding on, I am holding on 
     C       G         B7
I am holding on as my life it slips away

Em

Em
Spinning out my mind it twists
Em
More worries than I can seem to list
       C               G
I've served my purpose true and well 
    C                  G
but I haven't yet got much to tell
 Am                         B7
I listen to the panic in my nerves

Em
An agonizing journey home
Em
With empty hands I stand alone
C               D*
Face my family, face my friends
C                          D*
I'd better turn around and try again

        C       G        Em      D*
As I'm holding on, I am holding on
     C                D*
I am holding on as my life it slips away
 C      G         Em      D*
Holding on, I am holding on 
     C       G         B7
I am holding on as my life it slips away, my life it slips away…
    
C       G        Em      D*
Holding on, I am holding on
     C       G         D*
I am holding on as my life it slips away
C      G         Em      D*
Holding on, I am holding on 
     C       G        Em     D*
I am holding on, I am holding on
C       G         B7
Holding on as my life it slips away, my life it slips away…
