C                                 F                  G
Mother to all people, she's still got some things to prove
C                                   F              G
Pressed to find a reason, you know, I could name a few
       Am              F
But sometimes I want a baby
    C              F
And oh, what can I do
Dm                             G
Morning brings another hymn to home

   C          Dm      
So Hang on to me 
           G            C
You're the only thing I have
                Dm  
To wash my body clean 
       G              C
Oh and guide me on my path

          F                G
When they held love like a trophy
             C                   F
Like they've never been on their knees
            Am               Dm
But when it gets too dark to see
G                  C
You always call me back

C                       F                         G
I nearly fell to pieces Trying to wear my daddy's shoes
C                                F                   G
I'm working on a sequel You know good things come in two
         Am                 F
She said your love makes me crazy
       C                 F
And someday I'll have to choose
Dm                                   G
Lover, that same trouble is just old news

   C          Dm
So Hang on to me
        G                  C
I'm the only chance you've got
              Dm
Set your body free
       G                     C
Oh And keep you from falling apart
  
              F                G
when they'd held love like a trophy
             C                   F
Like they've never been on their knees
Am                    Dm
It's a lonely life to lead
    G                     C
And I could've spared you that
