verse 1 
C                   F 
They hung a sign up in our town 
        G                     C 
"If you live it up, you won't live it down" 
C                 F        C 
So she left Monte Rio, son 
                   C 
Just like a bullet leaves a gun 
         F                 G 
With her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips 
             C             F 
She went and took that California trip 
     Dm                   G 
Well the moon was gold, her hair like wind 
         Dm                    G 
She said don't look back, just come on Jim 

 
G      C           F       G      C                   G 
Oh____ you got to hold on, hold on,__ Babe  you gotta hold on 
C                 G                              C         C   C    C 
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on 

verse 2 
C                  F 
And he gave her a dime store watch 
G               C 
And a ring made from a spoon 
C                         F 
  Everyone's looking for someone to blame 
       G                C             C 
If you share my bed you share my name 
F                        G 
So go ahead and call the cops 
          C                  F            F 
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops 
                       G 
Oh and She said baby I still love you 
    Dm                    G 
Sometimes there's nothing left to do 

 
                  C        G      C                F 
Oh but you got to hold on, hold on, babe you gotta hold on 
C                G                               C       C 
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on 

verse 3 
Cm                 F 
And god bless your crooked little heart 
C 
   St. Louis got the best of me 
C                   F           G 
I miss your broken china voice 
C                         C 
How I wish you were still here with me 
         F               G 
Well you build it up and wreck it down 
         C                 F              F 
Then you burn your mansion to the ground 
                           G 
Oh there's nothing left to keep you here 
                Dm                 G 
But when you're falling behind in this big blue world  Oh Ohh oh 

 
           C        G      C            F 
you got to hold on, hold on, babe gotta hold on 
C                 G                              C        C     C     C    C 
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on 

verse 4 
C                    F 
Down by the Riverside Motel 
G                  Am  C 
Well It's 10 below and falling 
C         F 
and by a 99 cent store (soft strum G) 
C   G          Dm       C               C 
She closed her eyes and started swaying 
 F                 G 
But it' so hard to dance that way 
     C                     F         F 
When it's cold and there's no music 
 Dm                              G 
and When your old home town's so far away 
      Dm                       G 
But inside your head there's a record playin' 

 
              C        G       C           F 
A song called Hold On, hold on, baby gotta hold on 
C                 G                              C 
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on 
G     C           F 
Hold On,  babe gotta hold on 
C                 G                              C         C 
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
