Holding On To You Chords & Tabs
This is a really fun song to play, Twenty One pilots is an awesome band.
This is what I came up with after listening to the song.
This song is played mostly on the electric piano but sounds very good played on the
guitar as well.
Let me know if I missed anything at Hotcakes855@gmail.com
Enjoy.

Chorus:
E G#m B F# C#m
You are surrounding, all my surroundings
E G#m B F# C#m
Sounding down the mountain range, of my left-side brain
E G#m B F# C#m
You are surrounding, all my surroundings
E G#m B F#
Twisting the kaleidoscopic behind both of my eyes.

As the bridge progresses, increase intensity and slowly start to strum the chords above
each section in place of the notes.
After the bridge is a synth solo. During which you can strum the chords
Post-bridge:
G#m F#
Lean with it rock with it, when we gunna stop with it,
E B
Lyrics that mean nothing we were gifted with thought.
G#m F#
Is it time to move our feet, to an introspective beat?
E B
It ain't the speakers that bump hearts, its our hearts that make the beat.
Plays the intro part again:
And I'll be holding on to you
