INTRO: C  Em  Am  F   (2x)

         C                          G
There's always trouble, from what I hear
Am                           F
Everyone we know is breaking up this year
  C              G
Yeah, trouble, nothing new
      Am                          F
But I never thought I'd have this trouble with you
          C              G
I lost my one way ticket home 
         F      C   G
I'm at a busted telephone
      F             G                    Am    G
And I got no way to show you you're not alone


   C        G
Oh mercy, mercy me
Am                    F
Maybe for a minute, I wanted to be free
           C                 G
But then I saw what I had to lose 
     Am                         F
They say the narrow path is the hardest to choose
           C           G
I've got a one way radio 
   F   C        G
Communication's slow
      F             G                     Am     G
And I got no way to show you, you're not alone


CHORUS:
     C                 E7
Hold on, on baby, hold on
    F               C      G
I'm sorry I did you wrong
     C                 E7
Hold on, on baby, hold on
F                         C      G
Please don't you say, "So long"
        Dm                G
When we look up from this mess
              C                         Am
We'll see our stars were only taking a rest
                Dm                 G
And now they're lining up, east to west
        C
So hold on


                              G
There's always trouble, look around and see
    Am                    F
But I'm not in the kind I thought I'd be
             C         G
And isn't it always true?  
    Am                              F
The thing you had to learn, was the thing you thought you knew
        C         G
I got a new humility
  F           C       G
I think you'd like to see


CHORUS:
N.C.     C             E7
Hold on, on baby, hold on
    F               C      G
I'm sorry I did you wrong
     C                 E7
Hold on, on baby, hold on
F                         C      G
Please don't you say, "So long"
        Dm                G
When we look up from this test
              C                          Am
We'll see our stars were only taking a rest
                Dm                 G
And now they're lining up, east to west
        C
So hold on
     F
Hold on
     C
Hold on
