They hung a [G] sign up in our town, [A] if you live [D] it up you won't live it down
_ So she left [G] Monterreo, son
_ [A] Just like a [D] bullet leaves a gun
_ _ _ [G] With a charcoal eyes and [A] Monroe hips
[A] She [D] wouldn't took that [G] California trip
_ _ [Em] Well the moon was gold [A] and her hair like wind
[Em] Said don't look [A] back just come on Jim
Oh you [D] got to hold on, hold on
[G] You got to hold [D] on, take my [A] hand
Standing right [D] here you got to hold on
_ _ _ _ _ Well he gave her a [G] dime store watch
_ [A] And a ring [D] made from a spoon
_ _ Everyone's looking [G] for someone to blame
[D] [A] And you share my bed [D] you share my name _ _
_ _ [G] Well go ahead [A] call the cops
You [D] don't meet nice [G] girls in coffee shops _ _
_ [Em] _ She said [A] baby I still love you
Sometimes there's nothing left to do
Oh but you [D] got to hold on, hold on
Baby you got [G] to hold on, take my [A] hand
Standing right here you got [D] to hold on
_ _ _ Well God bless your crooked [G] little heart
_ [E] St.
Louis got the [D] best of me
_ I miss your broken [G] shine voice
How [A] I wish you were [D] still here with me _ _ _
Oh [G] you build it up, you wreck it down _
[D] And you burn your mansion [G] to the ground _ _ _
Oh [E] there's nothing left [A] to keep you here
But [Em] when you're falling behind [A] in this big blue world
Oh _ you've got [D] to hold on, [A] hold [D] on
Baby [G] you got to hold [D] on, take my hand
[A] Standing right [D] here you got to hold on _ _
_ _ _ Down by the [G] Riverside Motel
_ [A] They'd sit below [D] and fall in _
By a [G] 99 cent store
[A] She closed her [D] eyes and started sweet
But _ _ _ it's so [A] hard to dance that way
[D] When it's cold [G] and there's no music
_ _ _ [Em] Oh you're old [A] hometown so far away
[Em] But inside your [A] head there's a record that's playing
A song [D] called hold on, hold on
Baby you got [G] to hold [D] on, take my hand
[A] Standing right there you [D] got to hold on
You got to hold on, [A] hold [D] on
Baby you [G] got to hold on, [D] take my [A] hand
Standing right there [D] you got to hold on
You got to hold on, hold on
Baby you [G] got to hold [D] on, take my hand
[A] Standing right here [D] you got to hold on
You got to hold on, hold on
Baby [G] you got to hold [D] on, take my hand
[A] Standing right here [D] you got to hold on
You got to hold on, _ hold _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ on
You gotta hold on, baby.
You gotta hold on, girl.
You gotta hold on.
You gotta hold on. _ _ _ _ _ _
