[Intro] | C | C | G/B | G/B | | Dm | C | Am | F G | | C | C | G/B | G/B | | Dm | C | Am | F G | [Verse 1]

C
  So I wonder how she's doing

G/B
  I hate it when the rumors fly

Dm                   C
  They give off such a strange sense of mission

Am                F       G
Wing your helplessness on high

[Verse 2]

C
  But she would never run from strangers

G/B
  She sang alone like a bell will toll

Dm              C
  Way above the clang and the clatter

Am                 F      G
Out of fear of her demon so-

| C     | C    | G/B  | G/B  |
-oul      Oh-o-o-o-ooh    Ah-a-a-

| Dm    | C    | Am   | F  G |
-ahh

[Verse 3]

C
  Maybe none of this is my business

G/B
  And none of what I hear is true

Dm                  C
  I am far from the mint condition

Am            F       G
Circulation's hard on you

[Chorus]

C
Hold tight, hang tough

G/B
  Love's not enough

   Dm           C
To keep you off that stuff

Am        G
  To save you

F
  Hold tight, hang tough

Em
Love's not enough

   Dm           C
To keep you off that stuff

   Am   G   C
To save you no-

| C     | C    | G/B  | G/B  |
-ow      Oh-o-o-o-ooh    Ah-a-a-

| Dm    | C    | Am   | F  G |
-ahh

[Interlude] | C | C | G/B | G/B | | Dm | C | Am | F G | | C | C | G/B | G/B | | Dm | C | Am | F G | [Verse 4]

C
  He could always find the holes in the bottles

G/B
  Even with a blindfold on

Dm               C
  Never kept his seat on the wagon

Am                 F       G
Rolling off like a rolling stone

[Verse 5]

C
  Blue chalk between his fingers

G/B
  Hustling a poolroom song

Dm                 C
  He always kept a line for the singers

Am               F          G
Pointing his cue right from wrong

[Chorus]

C
Hold tight, hang tough

G
Love's not enough

Dm              Am
To keep you off that stuff

F       G
To save you

F
Hold tight, hang tough

Am7
Love's not enough

   Dm                C
To keep you off that stuff

   Am   G
To save you

| C     | C    | G/B  | G/B  |
  now      Oh-o-o-o-ooh   Ah-a-a-

| Dm    | C    | Am   | F  G |
-ahh
