Hold On - Tom Waits

D G
They hung a sign up in our town

A D
"if you live it up, you won't live it down"

G
So, she left Marty Rio's 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 and her hair like wind

Em A
She said don't look back just come on Jim - Oh, you got to

D A
Hold on, Hold on

D G
You got to hold on

D A
Take my hand, I'm standing right here

D
You gotta hold on.

D G
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch

A D
And a ring made from a spoon

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 - Oh, you got to

D A
Hold on, Hold on

D G
You got to hold on

D A
Take my hand, I'm standing right here

D
You gotta hold on.

D G
Down by the riverside motel,

A D
It's ten below and falling.

G A
By a ninetee nine cent store she closed her eyes

D
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

D A
Hold on, Hold on

D G
You got to hold on

D A
Take my hand, I'm standing right here

D
You gotta hold on.

D A
Hold on, Hold on

D G
You got to hold on

D A
Take my hand, I'm standing right here

D
You gotta hold on.

D A
Hold on, Hold on

D G
You got to hold on

D A
Take my hand, I'm standing right here

D
You gotta hold on.

D A
Hold on, Hold on

D G
You got to hold on

D A
Take my hand, I'm standing right here

D
You gotta hold on.

D
You gotta hold on.

D
You gotta hold on.

D
You gotta hold on.
