[Bridge]
N.C
Walking in the footsteps Of societys lies
N.C.
I don't like what I see no more Sometimes I wish that I was blind
N.C.
Sometimes I wait forever To stand out in the rain
N.C.
So no one sees me cryin Trying to wash away the pain
N.C.
Mother father
N.C.
There's things I've done I can't erase
N.C.
Every night we fall from grace
N.C.
Its hard with the world in yours face
N.C.
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on

Lord you got to keep the faith

Faith don't let your love turn to hate
F         C                  G
Right now we got to keep the faith
G     Bb               F
Faith now it's not too late
       C                  G
Try to hold on, trying to hold on
C        G
Keep the faith
