Tom Waits - Hold Onadd

D GThey hung a sign up in our town A D"If you live it up you won't live it down" GSo she left Monte Rio, son A DJust like a bullet leaves a gun G AWith her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips D GShe went and took that California trip Em AOh the moon was gold and her hair like wind Em AShe said don't look but just a-come on Jim D AOh, you got to hold on, hold onD GYou gotta hold onD ATake my hand, I'm standin' right here DYou got go hold onD GWell he gave her a dime store watch A DAnd a ring made from a spoon GEveryone's lookin' for someone to blame A DWhen you share my bed you share my name D GWell, go ahead and call the copsG AYou don't meet nice girls in coffee shops Em AShe said baby I still love you Em ASometimes there's nothin' left to
Nak.D GWell God bless your crooked little heart A DSt. Louis got the best of me GI miss your broken China voiceA DNow I wish you were still here with meD GOh you build it up, you wreck it downG AThen you burn your mansion to the groundEm AOh there's nothin' left to keep you hereEm ABut when you're fallin' behind in this big blue world
Nak.D GNow by the riverside motel A DIt's ten below and falling GBy a ninety-nine cent storeA DShe closed her eyes and started swayingD GBut it's so hard to dance that wayG AWhen it's cold and there's no musicEm AWith your old hometown so far awayEm ABut inside your head there's a record that's playin', a song called
Nak. (4x)DYou gotta hold on.
