D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
[VERSE 1]
D G They hung a sign up in our town A D "If you live it up, you won't live it down" D G So she left Monte Rio, son A D Just like a bullet leaves a gun G A With her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips D G She went and took that California trip Em A Well the moon was gold, her hair like wind Em A She said don't look back, just come on Jim
[CHORUS]
D A D G Oh you got to hold on, hold on, --you gotta hold on D A D Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
[VERSE 2]
D G Well he gave her a dime store watch A D And a ring made from a spoon D G Everyone's looking for someone to blame A D If you share my bed you share my name G A Well go ahead and call the cops D G You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops Em A She said baby I still love you Em A Sometimes there's nothing left to do
[CHORUS]
D A D G Oh but you got to hold on, hold on, babe you gotta hold on D A D Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
[VERSE 3]
D G Well god bless your crooked little heart A D St. Louis got the best of me D G I miss your broken china voice A D How I wish you were still here with me G A Well you build it up and wreck it down D G Then you burn your mansion to the ground Em A Oh there's nothing left to keep you here Em A But when you're falling behind in this big blue world
[CHORUS]
D A D G Oh you got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on D A D Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
[VERSE 4]
D G Down by the Riverside Motel A D It's 10 below and falling D G By a 99 cent store A D She closed her eyes and started swaying G A But it' so hard to dance that way D G When it's cold and there's no music Em A Well your old home town's so far away Em A But inside your head there's a record that's playing
[CHORUS]
D A D G A song called Hold On, hold on, baby gotta hold on D A D Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on D A D G A song called Hold On, hold on, baby gotta hold on D A D Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on D A D G A song called Hold On, hold on, baby gotta hold on D A D Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
