Hold on, hold on

| ---- | -- -- |

You've got a girl who really loves you

< You've got a girl who really cares >

She'll do anything you ask her to

Yet you treat her wrong

You just string her a[[G/f#]]long

Brother, if I were in your shoes

I would hold on, hold on, hold on tight

And make the whole world know she's mine

I would hold on, hold on, with all my might

love like hers is very hard to find

She does her best to make you happy

< She always does her very best >

You do your best to make her blue

Buddy, you've got it ma-ade

But you'd rather go and [[G/f#]]play

I know one thing for sure, if I were you

I would hold on, hold on, hold on tight

And make the whole world know she's mine

I would hold on, hold on, with all my might

love like hers is very hard to find

She's always there each time you need her

< Each time you need her she is there >

She gives her love so willingly

But you just don't ca-re

You know that she'll be [[G/f#]]there

How I wish she'd felt that way about me

I would hold on, hold on, hold on tight

And make the whole world know she's mine

I would hold on, hold on with, all my might

A love like hers is very hard to find

Hold on, hold on <>
