Hold On Lyrics

Hold On - Tom Waits (Chords)

E x4 (Throw a Esus4 in every now and then)
They hung a sign up in our town
"If you live it up, you won't live it down"
So she left Monte Rio, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
She went and took that California trip
Well the moon was gold, her hair like wind
She said don't look back, just come on Jim
Oh you got to hold on, hold on, --you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
Well he gave her a dime store watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone's looking for someone to blame
If you share my bed you share my name
Well go ahead and call the cops
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
--She said baby I still love you
Sometimes there's nothing left to do
Oh you got to hold on, hold on, --you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
Well god bless your crooked little heart
St. Louis got the best of me
I miss your broken china voice
How I wish you were still here with me
Well you build it up and wreck it down
Then you burn your mansion to the ground
When there's nothing to keep you here
When you're falling behind in this big blue world
Oh you got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
Down by the Riverside Motel
It's 10 below and falling
By a 99 cent store
She closed her eyes and started swaying
But it' so hard to dance that way
When it's cold and there's no music
Well your old home town's so far away
But inside your head there's a record that's playing
A song called Hold On, hold on, baby gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
You got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
You got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
You got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
You got to hold on x4
You got to hold on (baby/girl) x2
