[D] [A]
They hung up a [Bm] sign in our [G] old town
[D] [A] If you live it up, you'll [D] never live it down
So she left [G] Monreaux, son
[A] Just [D] like a bullet leaves a gun
[G] With her charcoal [A] eyes and her Monroe hips
[D] She went and [G] took that California trip
[Em] Oh, the moon was [A] gold and her hair like wind
[Em] She said, don't look [A] back, just come on, Jim
Oh, [D] you gotta [A] hold on, hold [D] on
[G] You gotta hold [D] on, take my [A] hand
I'm standing right [D] here, you gotta hold on
Well, he gave her [G] that dime, the store watch
[A] And a ring he [D] made from a spoon
Everyone's looking [G] for someone to blame
[A] [Em] When you share my [D] bed, you share my name
[G] Well, go [A] ahead and call the cops
You [D] don't meet nice girls [G] in coffee [Em] shops
She said, baby, I [A] still love you
[Em] But sometimes there's [A] nothing left to do
Oh, but you [D] gotta hold [A] on, hold [D] on
Baby, [G] you gotta hold [D] on, take my hand
[A] I'm standing right [D] here, you gotta [G] hold [D] on
Well, God bless [G] your little crooked heart
[A] St.
Louis got [D] the best of me
I miss your broken [G] china voice
[A] Oh, how I wish you [D] were still here with me
[G] Oh, you build it [A] up, you wreck it down
[D] Then you burn your [G] mansion to the ground
[Em] Oh, there's nothing [A] left to keep you here
But [Em] when you're falling behind [A] in this big blue world
Oh, you [D] gotta hold [A] on, hold [D] on
Baby, [G] you gotta hold [D] on, take my [A] hand
I'm standing right [D] here, you gotta [G] hold [D] on
[G] [D] Down by the [G] Riverside Motel
[A] It's 10 [D] below and falling
By a 99 [G]-cent store
[A] She closed her [D] eyes and started swaying
[G] But it's so [A] hard to dance that way
[D] When it's cold and [G] there's no music
[Em] Oh, your old [A] hometown is so far away
[Em] But inside your [A] head there's a record playing
A song [D] called hold [A] on, hold [D]
on
[G] Baby, you gotta hold [D] on, take my [A] hand
I'm standing right [D] here, you gotta hold on
[A] Hold on, hold [D]
on
Yeah, [G] you gotta hold [D] on
I won't leave you [A] here, take my hand
