F Bb
They hung a sign up in our town
C F
"if you live it up, you won't live it down"
F Bb
So, she left Monte Rio, son
C F
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
Bb C
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
F Bb
She went and took that California trip
Gm C
Well, the moon was gold, her Hair like wind
Gm C
She said don't look back just Come on Jim
[Chorus]

Oh you got to
F C F
Hold on, Hold on

You got to hold on
F C
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
F
You gotta hold on
[Verse]
F Bb
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
C F
And a ring made from a spoon
F Bb
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
C F
But you share my bed, you share my name
Bb C
Well, go ahead and call the cops
F Bb
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
Gm C
She said baby, I still love you
Gm C
Sometimes there's nothing left to do
[Chorus]
C
Oh but you got to
F C F
Hold on, hold on

Baby got to hold on
F C
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you got to
F
Just hold on.
[Chorus]

Oh you got to
F C F
Hold on, Hold on

Baby gotto hold on
F C
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
F
You gotta hold on
