Verse 1:
G                                         C
Ba by, close that suit case you've been packing.
G                               C
Just sit down and talk to me a while.
G/B Am                             C
Oh I know I tried to tell me what was lacking,
Am                                     D Dsus4
But I guess I must have missed it by a mile.
G                                        C
Well this time girl, I swear to you I'll listen.
G                               C
Help me understand where I went wrong.
G/B  Am                          C
It's hard to find myself in this position
Am                                    D
Scared that I'll go crazy once you're gone.

Chorus:
D            G             C
Help me hold on to what we had.
C                      Am D         G
Once our love was strong  it can be again.
G                                  C
You said it takes two to make love last.
C              G/B     Am D              G
You were right all along  so help me hold on.
C       G   C
Hold On

Verse 2:
G                                C
What have I got to do to make it better?
G                                 C
What have I got to do to make you see,
G/B Am                          C
that even though I promised you forever,
G/B  Am                          D  Dsus4
I never know how hard that would be?
   G                            C
I realized I took your love for granted,
G                                                  C
But I've learned that love worth having don't come free.
G/B  Am                                 C
And I'll pay any price it takes to keep you,
Am                                  D
Oh, satisfied and staying here with me.

Chorus:
D            G             C
Help me hold on to what we had.
C                      Am D         G
Once our love was strong  it can be again.
G                                  C
You said it takes two to make love last.
C              G/B     Am D              G
You were right all along  so help me hold on.

Outro:
C                G/B      Am
Oh you were right all along
D                      G
Won't you help me hold on.
