People Hold On was written by Matthew David Cohn, Jonathan More, and Lisa Stansfield. This chord sketch by Benjy Cline is based on the version of the song by re:jazz. Re:jazz has several versions of the song, but this sketch follows the re:jazz featuring Tobias Kremer Big Band version. This live version is a little different but the chords are mostly the same.
