[Verse]
 
Em              C       G
Talking like we used to do
Em            C       G
It was always me and you
Em             C        G
Shaken up and shippin' out
Em               C        G
Check me in and check me out
 
Em                  C       G
Do you like walking in the rain
          Em                    C       G
When you think of love, do you think of pain 
Em              C         G
You can tell me what you see
Em                 C       G
I will choose what I believe
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G           C/G
Hold on, darling
 
This body is yours, this body is yours and mine
G           C/G
Hold on my darling
                                       (Em)
This mess was yours, now your mess is mine
 
 
[Interlude]
 
Em  C  G  G    x4
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em              C      G
See you in the market place
Em                C  G
Walking around at 8 AM
Em               C         G
Got two hours before my flight
Em             C      G
Luck be on my side tonight
 
            Em            C        G
You're the reason that I feel so strong
     Em              C       G
The reason that I'm hanging on
     Em              C         G
You know you gave me all that time
Em                 C      G
Oh, did I give enough of mine?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G           C/G
Hold on, darling
 
This body is yours, this body is yours and mine
G           C/G
Hold on my darling
                                       (Em)
This mess was yours, now your mess is mine
 
 
[Interlude]
 
Em  C  G  G    x4

Em               C
Bring me to your house and tell me

Sorry for the mess, ''Hey I don't mind''
 
Em    C
 
       G                    D
You're talking in your sleep, out of time
 
Em    C
 
          G                  D
Well you still make sense to me, your mess is mine
 
 
[Outro]
 
Em  C  G  G
 
Em  C  G  G
          Your mess is mine
Em  C  G  G
 
Em  C  G  G
      This body is yours and this body is mine
Em  C  G  G
 
Em  C  G  G
          Your mess is mine
Em  C  G  G
 
Em  C  G
       Your mess is mine

I think in the second verse it's suppose to be "Luck be on my side tonight" not "Rub me on my side tonight". Yeah.
