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
