[VERSE 1]
[D]They hung a sign up [G]in our town
"If you [A]live it up, you won't [D]live it down"
[D]So she left Monte [G]Rio, son
Just [A]like a bullet [D]leaves a gun
With her [G]charcoal eyes and [A]Monroe hips
She went and [D]took that Cali[G]fornia trip
Well the [Em]moon was gold, her [A]hair like wind
She said [Em]don't look back, just [A]come on Jim
[CBORUS]
Oh you got to [D]hold on, [A]hold on, [D]--you gotta [G]hold on
[D]Take my hand, I'm [A]standing right here, you gotta [D]hold on
[VERSE 2]
[D]Well he gave her a [G]dime store watch
[A]And a ring made [D]from a spoon
[D]Everyone's looking for [G]someone to blame
If you [A]share my bed you [D]share my name
Well [G]go ahead and [A]call the cops
You don't [D]meet nice girls in [G]coffee shops
[Em]She said baby I [A]still love you
Some[Em]times there's nothing [A]left to do
[CBORUS]
Oh but you got to [D]hold on, [A]hold on,[D] babe you gotta [G]hold on
[D]Take my hand, I'm [A]standing right here, you gotta [D]hold on
[VERSE 3]
Well g[D]od bless your [G]crooked little heart
[A]St. Louis got the [D]best of me
[D]I miss your broken [G]china voice
How I [A]wish you were still [D]here with me
Well you [G]build it up and [A]wreck it down
Then you [D]burn your mansion [G]to the ground
Oh there's [Em]nothing left to [A]keep you here
But when you're [Em]falling behind in this [A]big blue world
[CBORUS]
Oh you got to [D]hold on, [A]hold on,[D] baby gotta [G]hold on
[D]Take my hand, I'm [A]standing right here, you gotta [D]hold on
[VERSE 4]
[D]Down by the Rivers[G]ide Motel
It's [A]10 below and [D]falling
[D]By a 9[G]9 cent store
She [A]closed her eyes and [D]started swaying
But [G]it' so hard to [A]dance that way
When it's [D]cold and there's no [G]music
Well your [Em]old home town's so [A]far away
But in[Em]side your head there's a [A]record that's playing
[CBORUS]
A song called [D]Hold On, [A]hold on,[D] baby gotta [G]hold on
[D]Take my hand, I'm [A]standing right here, you gotta [D]hold on
A song called [D]Hold On, [A]hold on,[D] baby gotta [G]hold on
[D]Take my hand, I'm [A]standing right here, you gotta [D]hold on
A song called [D]Hold On, [A]hold on,[D] baby gotta [G]hold on
[D]Take my hand, I'm [A]standing right here, you gotta [D]hold on
[OUTRO]
[D]You got to hold on
[D]You got to hold on
[D]You got to hold on
[D]You got to hold on
[D]You got to hold on baby
[D]You got to hold on girl
[D]You got to hold on
[D]You got to hold on
