[Intro] G Gsus4 D G [Verse 1]
      G                            C                   G
As my aching head is begging for a sleep that will not come

  G                                   D  D7
I rise and walk the morning streets again

       G                                C                G
I keep wond'rin how you're doin', and I wonder where you are

      G                D                      G
And I know I'll be all right but I don't know when
[Chorus]
G          C                D         G
Hold on to me babe wherever you may be

           C                     D     G
Hold on to me babe, I'm with you always
[Break] G Gsus4 D G [Verse 2]
          G                                   C              G
There was something locked inside you, like a secret burning pain

     G                                 D  D7
In a prison where you would not let me go

      G                                 C                  G
I was sure we'd find an answer, 'till I woke and found you gone

    G                  D                G
Now just what it was I guess I'll never know
[Chorus]
G          C                D         G
Hold on to me babe wherever you may be

           C                     D     G
Hold on to me babe, I'm with you always
[Break] G Gsus4 D G [Verse 3]
       G                                 C                  G
I keep hanging on to something, though I don't know what it is

       G                                D   D7
But at least I know the sound of my own name

      G                           C                G
And I work as hard as ever, and I see the same old friends

                           D                     G
But there's something deep inside that ain't the same
[Chorus]
G          C                D         G
Hold on to me babe wherever you may be

           C                     D     G
Hold on to me babe, I'm with you always
[Verse 4]
G                                  C                   G
As my achin' head is begging for a sleep that will not come

  G                                   D  D7
I rise and walk the morning streets again

       G                                C                G
I keep wond'rin how you're doin', and I wonder where you are

      G                D                      G
And I know I'll be all right but I don't know when
[Chorus]
G          C                D         G
Hold on to me babe wherever you may be

           C                     D     G
Hold on to me babe, I'm with you always
[Outro] G Gsus4 Dsus2 G
