They hung a sign up in out town

"if you live it up, you won't live it down"

Just like a bullet leaves a gun 
G                                    A7 
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips 
D                            G 
She went and took that California trip 
E/G                                         A7 
Well, the moon was gold, her Hair like wind 
E/G                                        A7

And a ring made from a spoon 
D                                G 
Everyone is looking for someone to blame 
A7                    D 
But you share my bed, you share my name 
G                          A7 
Well, go ahead and call the cops 
D                            G 
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops 
E/G                                         A7 
She said baby, I still love you 
E/G                                         A7

Well, God bless your crooked little heart 
A7                      D 
St. Louis got  the  best  of me 
 D                                G 
I miss your broken-china voice 

A7                                     D 
How I wish you were still here with me 
 G                                    A7 
Well, you build it up, you wreck it down 
D                            G 
You burn your mansion to the ground 
E/G                               A7 
When there's nothing left to keep you here, when 
E/G                                A7 
You're falling behind in this big blue world

You gotta hold on
 

(verse 4) 
  D                 G 
Down by the Riverside motel, 
A7                  D 
It's 10 below and falling 
D                                G 
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes and started swaying 
 A7                      D 
But it's so hard to dance that way 
G                                    A7 
When it's cold and there's no music 
  D                            G 
Well your old hometown is so far away 
E/G                             A7 
But, inside your head there's a record 
E/G                A7 
That's playing, a song called 
 
D           G 
Oh you got to 
A7       D 
Hold on, Hold on 
D           G 
You got to hold on 
A7                   G 
Take my hand, I'm standing right here 
D           G 
You gotta hold on
