[Verse 1]
     D              G          G
They hung a sign up in our town
       A                    D           D
If you live it up you won't live it down
   D              G      G
So she left Monte Rio son
A                  D           D
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
     G                 A          Asus4  A
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
             D             G          G
She went and took that California trip
         Em7                   A             A
Well the moon was gold and her hair like wind
         Em7                  A
She said don't look back just come on Jim
 
 
[Chorus]
A       A               D        A
Oh you, you, you got to hold on, hold on
D           G
 You got to hold on
  D                  A
I take my hand, I'm standing right here
           D      D
You got to hold on
 
 
[Instrumental]
| D/F#   | D/A    | Em7    | A/C#   |
| D/F#   | D/A    | Em7    | A/C#   |
 
 
[Verse 2]
     D             G               G
Well he gave her a dime store watch
      A                 D      D
And a ring made from a spoon
D                       G               G
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
        A                 D            D
But you share my bed, you share my name
     G            A            Asus4  A
Well go ahead and call the cops
          D                  G           G
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
Em7              A            A
She said baby I still love you
    Em7                   A
Sometimes there's nothing left to do
 
 
[Chorus]
A       A               D        A
Oh you, you, you got to hold on, hold on
D           G
 You got to hold on
  D                  A
I take my hand, I'm standing right here
           D      D
You got to hold on
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
     D                      G           G
Well god bless your crooked little heart
   A                  D         D
St Louis beef got the best of me
  D                G          G
I miss your broken china voice
      A                   D           D
How I wish you were still here with me
    G                A            A
You build it up, you wreck it down
        D                 G            G
And you burn your mansion to the ground
             Em7             A            A
When there's nothing left to keep you here
            Em7                    A
When you're falling behind in this big blue world
 
 
[Chorus]
A        A              D        A
Oh girl, oh, you got to hold on, hold on
D           G
 You got to hold on
  D                  A
I take my hand, I'm standing right here
           D      Dsus4    D
You got to hold on
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
D                G         G
Down by the riverside motel
     A            D      Dsus4    D
It's 10 below and falling
D       G         G
By a 99-cent store
    A                           D      Dsus4    D
She closed her eyes and started swaying
    G               A             Asus4    A
But it's so hard to dance that way
          D                   G     G
When it's cold and there's no music
          Em7                A       A
Well your old hometown is so far away
      Em7                       A
But inside your heard there's a record playing
     A              A
It's playing a song, a song called
 
 
[Chorus]
D        A
Hold on, hold on
D           G
 You got to hold on
  D                  A
I take my hand, I'm standing right here
           D      Dsus4    D
You got to hold on
D        A
Hold on, hold on
D           G
 You got to hold on
  D                  A
I take my hand, I'm standing right here
           D      D
You got to hold on
D        A
Hold on, hold on
D           G
 You got to hold on
  D                  A
I take my hand, I'm standing right here
           D      D
You got to hold on
