D MajorD                G+G
They hung a sign up in out town
 A7A7                  D MajorD
"if you live it up, you won't live it down"
D MajorD                G+G
So, she left Monte Rio, son
A7A7                   D MajorD
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
G+G                  A7A7
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
D MajorD              G+G
She went and took that California trip
E/G                     A7A7
Well, the moon was gold, her Hair like wind
E/G                    A7A7
She said don't look back just Come on Jim

Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
A7A7             D MajorD
And a ring made from a spoon
D MajorD                G+G
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
A7A7          D MajorD
But you share my bed, you share my name
G+G             A7A7
Well, go ahead and call the cops
D MajorD              G+G
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
E/G                     A7A7
She said baby, I still love you
E/G                     A7A7
Sometimes there's nothin left to do

I miss your broken-china voice

A7A7                   D MajorD
How I wish you were still here with me

D MajorD              G+G
You burn your mansion to the ground
E/G                A7A7
When there's nothing left to keep you here, when
E/G                A7A7
You're falling behind in this big blue world

Chorus:
D MajorD      G+G
Oh you got to
A7A7    D MajorD
Hold on, Hold on
D MajorD      G+G
You got to hold on

Take my hand, I'm standing right here
D MajorD      G+G
You gotta hold on

Verse 4:
 D MajorD         G+G
Down by the Riverside motel,
A7A7         D MajorD
It's 10 below and falling
D MajorD                G+G
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes and started swaying
 A7A7           D MajorD
But it's so hard to dance that way
G+G                  A7A7
When it's cold and there's no music
 D MajorD              G+G
Well your old hometown is so far away

But, inside your head there's a record

That's playing, a song called

Hold on, Hold on
D MajorD      G+G
You got to hold on
A7A7          G+G
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
D MajorD      G+G
