VERSE 1
[E]They hung a sign up in our t[A]own
"If you [B]live it up, you won't [E]live it down"
[E]So she left Monte [A]Rio, son
Just [B]like a bullet [E]leaves a gun[E]
With her [A]charcoal eyes and [B]Monroe hips
She went and [E]took that Cali[A]fornia trip
Well the[F#m] moon was gold, her [B]hair like wind
She said [F#m]don't look back, just[B] come on Jim[B]
CHORUS
Oh you got to [E]hold on, [B]hold on,[E] --you gott[A]a hold on
[E]Take my hand, I'm [B]standing right here, you gotta [E]hold on
VERSE 2
[E]Well he gave her [A]a dime store watch
[B]And a ring made from a [E]spoon
[E]Everyone's looking for [A]someone to blame
If you [B]share my bed you share my [E]name[E]
Well [A]go ahead an[B]d call the cops
You don't [E]meet nice girls in [A]coffee shop[A]s
[F#m]--She said baby I st[B]ill love you
Some[F#m]times there's nothing [B]left to do[B]
CHORUS
Oh you got to [E]hold on, [B]hold on,[E] --you gott[A]a hold on
[E]Take my hand, I'm [B]standing right here, you gotta [E]hold on
VERSE 3
Well g[E]od bless your [A]crooked little heart
[B]St. Louis got the [E]best of me
[E]I miss your broken [A]china voice
[B]How I wish you were still [E]here with me[E]
Well you [A]build it up and [B]wreck it down
Then you [E]burn your mansion [A]to the ground[A]
[F#m]When there's nothing to [B]keep you here
[F#m]When you're falling behind in this [B]big blue world[B]
CHORUS
Oh you got to [E]hold on, [B]hold on,[E] baby gotta [A]hold on
[E]Take my hand, I'm [B]standing right here, you gotta [E]hold on[E]
VERSE 4
[E]Down by the Rivers[A]ide Motel
It's [B]10 below and [E]falling
[E]By a 9[A]9 cent store
[B]She closed her eyes and [E]started swaying[E]
[A]But it' so hard to [B]dance that way
[E]When it's cold and t[A]here's no music[A]
Well your [F#m]old home town's so [B]far away
But in[F#m]side your head there's a [B]record that's playing[B]
CHORUS
A song called [E]Hold On, [B]hold on, ba[E]by gotta [A]hold on
[E]Take my hand, [B]I'm standing right here, you gotta [E]hold on
You got to hol[E]d on, hol[B]d on, ba[E]by gotta hol[A]d on
[E]Take my hand, I'm [B]standing right here, you gotta [E]hold on
You got to hol[E]d on, hol[B]d on, ba[E]by gotta hol[A]d on
[E]Take my hand, I'm [B]standing right here, you gotta [E]hold on
