Hold On To Yourself

Am F Dm Am Am I'm so far away from you F Pacing up and down my room Dm Am Does Jesus only love a man who loses? Am I turn on the radio F There's some cat on the saxophone Dm Am Laying down a litany of excuses Am There's madhouse longing in my baby's eyes F She rubs the lamp between her thighs Dm Am And hopes the genie comes out singing Am She lives in some forgotten song F And moves like she is zombie-strong Dm Am Breathes steady as the pendulum keeps swinging C G Am Am F Am You better hold on to yourself Am F Dm Am Am Well, cities rust and fall to ruin F Factories close and cars go cruisin' Dm Am In around the borders of her vision Am She says ooh F As Jesus makes the flowers grow Dm Am All around the scene of her collision C G Am You know I would, yes, I would Am F Am I would hold on to yourself Am F Dm Am Am In the middle of the night F I try my best to chase outside Dm Am The phantoms and the ghosts and fairy-girls Am On 1001 nights like these F Dm She mutters open sesame and Ali Baba and his forty thieves Am Launch her off the face of the world C G Am You know one day I'll come back F Am And I'd hold on to yourself F Dm Am To yourself, I'd hold on to yourself Am F Dm Am Am Ooh baby, I'm a 1000 miles away F And I just don't know what to say Dm Am Cause Jesus only loves a man who bruises Am But darling, we can clearly see F It's all life and fire and lunacy Dm Am And excuses and excuses and excuses C Well, you know if I could, I would G Am F Am I'd lie right down and I'd hold on to yourself C G Am F Am Yeah, I would lie right down and I would hold on to yourself C G Am F Am One day I'll come back to you and I'd hold on to yourself C G Am Yeah, I'm gonna come back, gonna lie down F Am And I would hold on to yourself Yeah, to yourself
