Hold On To Me Babe(Chords)

	        CAPO: 4th Fret 



Intro: C  


As my aching head is begging 
      F                   C 
For a sleep that will not come 
                                     G7 
I rise and walk the morning streets again 
       C 
I keep wondering how you're doing 
      F                C 
And I wonder where you are 
                 G7                      C      F 
I know I'll be alright, but I don't know when 

 
                    C 
Hold on to me babe 
         G7          F 
Wherever you may be 
                   C 
Hold on to me babe 
             G C 
I'm with you always 



There was something locked inside you 
       F              C 
Like a secret burning pain 
                                       G7 
In a prison where you would not let me go 
      C 
I was sure we'd find an answer 
       F                  C 
'Til I woke and found you gone 
              G7               C      F 
What it was I guess I'll never know 

 
                    C 
Hold on to me babe 
         G7          F 
Wherever you may be 
                   C 
Hold on to me babe 
             G C 
I'm with you always 



I keep hanging on to something 
         F                  C 
Though I don't know what it is 
                                    G7 
At least I know the sound of my own name 
      C 
And I work as hard as ever 
      F                C 
And I see the same old friends 
                     G7              C     F 
But something deep inside is not the same 

 
                    C 
Hold on to me babe 
         G7          F 
Wherever you may be 
                   C 
Hold on to me babe 
             G C 
I'm with you always 




As my aching head is begging 
      F                   C 
For a sleep that will not come 
                                    G7 
I rise and walk the morning streets again 
           C 
And I keep wondering how you're doing 
      F                C 
And I wonder where you are 
                 G7                  C      F 
I know I'll be alright, I don't know when 



                    C 
Hold on to me babe 
         G7          F 
Wherever you may be 
                   C 
Hold on to me babe 
             G C 
I'm with you always
