VERSE:
Em              C       G
Talking like we used to do
Em            C       G
It was always me and you
Em             C        G
Shaken up and shippin' out
Em               C        G
Check me in and check me out

Em                  C       G
Do you like walking in the rain
          Em                    C       G
When you think of love, do you think of pain
Em              C         G
You can tell me what you see
Em                 C       G
I will choose what I believe

CHORUS:
G           C/G
Hold on, darling

This body is yours, this body is yours and mine
G           C/G
Hold on my darling
                                       (Em)
This mess was yours, now your mess is mine


INTERLUDE:
Em  C  G  G    x4


VERSE:
Em              C      G
See you in the market place
Em                C  G
Walking around at 8 AM
Em               C         G
Got two hours before my flight
Em            C      G
Rub me on my side tonight

            Em            C        G
You're the reason that I feel so strong
     Em              C       G
The reason that I'm hanging on
     Em              C         G
You know you gave me all that time
Em              C      G
Did I give.....


CHORUS:
G           C/G
Hold on, darling

This body is yours, this body is yours and mine
G           C/G
Hold on my darling
                                       (Em)
This mess was yours, now your mess is mine



INTERLUDE:
Em  C  G  G    x4


BRIDGE:
Em               C
Bring me to your house and tell me
G              D
Sorry for the mess, ''Hey I don't mind''
Em               C

G                        D
You're talking in your sleep, out of time
Em               C

G                            D
Well you still make sense to me, your mess is mine


OUTRO:
Em  C  G  G

Em  C  G  G
          Your mess is mine
Em  C  G  G

Em  C  G  G
      This body is yours and this body is mine
Em  C  G  G

Em  C  G  G
          Your mess is mine
Em  C  G  G

Em  C  G
       Your mess is mine
