Hold On Chords

[Verse]
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 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]
A              D      A        D
Oh you got to, Hold on, Hold on
       G
You got to hold on
D                A                      D
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, You gotta hold on.
 
[Verse]
D                       G
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
A                      D
And a ring made from a spoon
D                             G
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
A                                 D
But 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 nothin left to do
 
[Chorus]
A              D      A        D
Oh you got to, Hold on, Hold on
       G
You got to hold on
D                A                      D
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, You gotta hold on.
 
[Verse]
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, you wreck it down
D                               G
You burn your mansion to the ground
Em                                    A
When there's nothing left to keep you here, when
Em                              A
You're falling behind in this, Big blue world
 
[Chorus]
A              D      A        D
Oh you got to, Hold on, Hold on
       G
You got to hold on
D                A                      D
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, You gotta hold on.
 
[Verse]
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's so hard to dance that way
D                              G
When it's cold and there's no music.
Em                              A
Well your old hometown is so far away
Em                                        A
But, inside your head there's a record, That's playing, a song called
 
[Chorus]
A              D      A        D
Hold on, Hold on
       G
You got to hold on
D                A                      D
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, You gotta hold on.
