G                                    C
     Baby close that suitcase you've been packin'
     G
     Just sit down and talk to me a while
         Am                               C
     I know you tried to tell me what was lackin'
           Am                               D
     but I guess I must have missed it by a mile
          G                                  C
     Well this time girl I swear to you I'll listen
      G                              C
     help me understand where I went wrong
          Am                          C
     it's hard to find myself in this position
     Am                                     D
     Scared that I'll go crazy once you're gone

[Chorus]
     N.C.          G                C
     Help me hold on - to what we had
                       Am          D        G
     once our love was strong, it can be again
                       G                 C
     you said it takes two, to make love last
                         Am      D             G
     you were right all along so help me hold on

[Verse 2]
     G                             C
     What have I got do to make it better?
     G                                 C
     What have I got to do to make you see
          Am                            C
     That even though I promised you forever
       Am                             D
     I never knew how hard that would be
       G                            C
     I realize I took your love for granted
               G                                        C
     but I've learned that love worth havin' don't come free
             Am                         C
     and I'll pay any price it takes to keep you
      Am                            D
     satisfied and stayin here with meeeeeeeeee

[Chorus]
     N.C.          G                C
     Help me hold on - to what we had
                       Am          D        G
     once our love was strong, it can be again
                       G                 C
     you said it takes two, to make love last
                         Am      D             G
     you were right all along so help me hold on
