Capo 1

Dm                                              C
If you want to keep a woman like me, you got to hold on
   Dm                                        C
If you want to see how good it can be, baby, hold on
Em                        Am
All my friends think that I'm a fool
Em                           G
I tell you something, honey, they're not that cool
Dm                                              C
If you want to keep a woman like me, you got to hold on

If you want to know how far we can go, you got to hold on
If you take it slow then I got something to show you, baby, hold on
All those girls with their empty heads
Can't fill 'em up with the lies they've been fed
If you want to know how far I can go, you got to hold on

Solo

Bridge:
G                           Dm
She'll give you reasons for her kind
Am                        C            G
You might believe it, but I'm not that blind


If you think you need a woman like me, you got to hold on
If you want to find what I've got on my mind, baby, hold on
All this small talk that keeps us apart
Is only hiding how we feel in our hearts
If you think you need a woman like me, you got to hold on

If you want to keep a woman like me, then, baby, hold on

You got to hold on (hold on)
Hold on, baby (hold on)
(Hold on)
You got to hold on (hold on)
(Hold on)
