[Verse 1]
D                      G
They hung a sign up in our town
        A
"If you live it up,
          D
you won't live it down"
                  G
So she left Monte Rio, son
     A             D
Just like a bullet leaves a gun

[Pre-Chorus]
         G                 A
With her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
             D                G
She went and took that California trip
        Em
Oh, the moon was gold,
    A
her hair like wind
      Em                     A
Said, "Don't look back, just come on,
Jim"
               D        A
Oh, you got to hold on, hold on

[Chorus]
D          G
 You gotta hold on
D                 A
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
          D
You gotta hold on

[Verse 2]
      D                 G
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
   A            D
And a ring made from a spoon
                           G
Everyone's looking for someone to blame
         A                 D
When you share my bed, you share my name

[Pre-Chorus]
        G               A
Well, 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
                  D        A
Oh, but you gotta hold on, hold on

[Chorus]
D                G
 Babe, you gotta hold on
    D
And take my hand,
    A
I'm standing right here
          D
You gotta hold on

[Verse 3]
Well,
   D                      G
God bless your crooked little heart
    A             D
St. Louis got the best of me
                   G
I miss your broken china voice
      A                   D
How I wish you were still here with me

[Pre-Chorus]
        G                         A
Oh, you build it up, you wreck it down
         D                 G
Then you burn your mansion to the ground
Oh,
        Em              A
there's nothing left to keep you here
                Em                     A
But when you're fallin' behind in this big blue world
               D        A
Oh, you got to hold on, hold on

[Chorus]
D                G
 Babe, you gotta hold on
D                 A
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
          D
You gotta hold on

[Verse 4]
    D                G
Down by the Riverside motel
     A             D
It's ten below and falling
               G
By a ninetyninecent store
    A                   D
She closed her eyes and started swaying

[Pre-Chorus]
         G               A
But it's so hard to dance that way
          D                  G
When it's cold and there's no music
         Em                A
Oh, your old hometown's so far away
      Em                       A
But inside your head there's a record that's playing

[Chorus]
              D          A
A song called "Hold On", hold on
D                G
 Babe, you gotta hold on
D                 A
Take my hand, I'm standing right there
          D
You gotta hold on
                   A
You gotta hold on, hold on
D                G
 Babe, you gotta hold on
D                 A
Take my hand, I'm standing right there
          D
You gotta hold on
                   G
You gotta hold on, hold on
D                    G
 Babe, you gotta hold on
    D
And take my hand,
    A
I'm standing right here
          D
You gotta hold on
                   A
You gotta hold on, hold on
D                G
 Babe, you gotta hold on
    D
And take my hand,
    A
I'm standing right here
          D
You gotta hold on
          D
You gotta hold on

[Outro]
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, baby
You gotta hold on, girl
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
