G Bm C G
[Verse 1]
G C G
She's thinking about the prince and Cinderella
C
And the outlaws, and the hustlers, and the heroes
G
That never seem to fall
G C
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what

The outcome of the story is
G C
Because in real life I try to tell her
D
It's not like that at all
[Chorus]
Em D
Oh, won't you please just hold out now
Em D
'Cause there's some things I'd like you to forget
C G
When your world is sinking like a sunset
[Verse 2]
G C G
Tales of Don Juan, they're very poetic, babe
C
But out on the streets out there
G
The true verse of life is written
G
You know it's really a shame
C G
When you've got to let go of all the things you love
G
Like a fighter he really bleeds
C D
When he must hang up his gloves
[Chorus]

No I am not a rock and I can feel it now

You can walk too far out on that ledge
G
And you might lose your mind
G
You know I need you now
C G
You're the angel that keeps me in line
G C
The old sergeant has broken down
G
He's grown senile

Em D
So don't hold out, let's make love right now
Em D
'Cause there's some things I'd like to forget

The sun comes out at night, making me forget
