Biografía:

[Intro]

[Verse]
D G
They hung a sign in our town
A D
"If you live it up, you wont live it down"
G
So she left Monte Rio, son
A D
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
G A
With charcoal eyes, and Monroe hips
D G
She went and took that California trip
Em A
Oh, the moon was gold, her hair like wind
Em A
She said, "Don't look back, just come on Jim"
[Chorus]
D A D
Oh, you got to hold on, hold on
G
Babe, you gotta hold on
D A D
Take my hand, standin' right here, gotta hold on
[Verse]
D G
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
A D
And a ring made from a spoon
G
Everybody's lookin' for someone to blame
A D
You share my bed, you share my name
G A
Go ahead and call the cops
D G
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
Em A
She said, "Baby I still love you"
Em A
Sometimes there's nothin' left to do
[Chorus]
D A D
Oh, you got to hold on, hold on
G
Babe, you gotta hold on
D A D
Take my hand, standin' right here, gotta hold on
[Verse]
D G
Well, God bless your crooked little heart
A D
St. Louis got the best of me
G
I miss your broken China voice
A D
I wish you were still here with me
G A
You build it up, you wreck it down
D G
And you burn your mansion to the ground
Em A
Well, there's nothing left to keep you here
Em A
When you're falling behind in this big blue world
[Chorus]
D A D
Oh, you got to hold on, hold on
G
Babe, you gotta hold on
D A D
Take my hand, standin' right here, gotta hold on
[Verse]
D G
Down by the Riverside Motel
A D
It's ten below and falling
G
By a ninety-nine cent store
A D
She closed her eyes and started swaying
G A
It's so hard to dance that way
D G
When its cold and there's no music
Em A
Your old hometown is so far away
Em A
But inside your head there's a record playing
[Chorus]
D A D
A song called hold on, hold on
G
Babe, you gotta hold on
D A D
Take my hand, standin' right here, gotta hold on
A D
Hold on,
G
Babe, you gotta hold on
D A D
Take my hand, standin' right here, gotta hold on
D
Gotta hold on
