[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] [C] Don't you give [Bb] me something, [F] something to [C] hold on to.
This whole world [Bb] has taken, [F] taken me [C] for a ride.
[Bbm] [Bb] [F] [C]
[Bbm] [F] [C]
You come smiling through the [Bb] doorway looking like [C] an old regret.
Still a whole lot [Bb] better than you did last [C] time we met.
Between a real hot [Bb] spot and a hole in a [C] concrete wall.
Running out [Bb] of highway looking for [C] a place to fall.
Won't you [F] give me [Bb] [F] something, something [C] to hold on to.
This whole [Bb] world has taken, [F] taken [C] me for a ride.
Pick me [Bb] up and learn me, [F] burn me down [C] and burn me.
Darling [Bb] won't you give me, [F] give me one last [C]
try.
[Bb] [F]
[C] [Cm] [Bbm] [F]
[C] Well to tell you [Bb] true I thought we'd never be here [C] again.
But I feel [Bb] alright now darling for the shape [C] I'm in.
I nearly fell [Bb] to pieces just thinking it would all [C] fall through.
Feeling like [Bb] somebody when you finally came into [C] view.
Darling [Bb] won't you give me [F] something to [C] hold on to.
This whole [Bb] world has taken, [F] taken [C] me for a ride.
Pick me [Bb] up and learn me, [F] turn me [C] down and burn me.
Darling [Bb] won't you give [F] me, give me [C] one last try.

[Bb] [F] [C]
Now I won't [Bbm] say it all worked out [C] like I planned.
[Cm]
[C] Lucky I [Bb] still got a leg on [C] which to stand.
I had a [Bb] half a [C] mind to get going, leave it [Eb] alone, try [C] to move on.
But I just [Bb] sat there staring at the [C] second hand on the ballroom wall.
Now darling [Bb] won't you give [F] me something to [C] hold on to.
This whole world [Bb] has taken, [F] taken me [C] for a ride.
Pick me up [Bb] and learn [F] me, turn me [C] down and burn me.
Darling won't [Bb] you give me, [F] give me one [C] last try.
