Hold Me

[Chorus 1]
C                                               F
Hold me closer, I think she's holding on to him
          C
Would you care to dance a little longer?
                         G7
Would you mind taking me in?
C                                             F
Hold me closer, if you could only just pretend
          C
She might see me smiling somewhere
    G7            C
And want me back again
 
 
[Verse 1]
   Am
We used to go together a-waltzing
        C                          F
Oh, she used to lead me out on the floor
    C
But here I am with you tonight
          G7              C
And she's over there with Joe
 
 
[Chorus 2]
C                                         F
Hold me closer, I think I just might cry
          C
Well, I'm dusting off some memories
                     G7
That are waking up inside
C                                             F
Hold me closer, and we'll dance into the night
                C
Though you might see me flash a grin
           G7                 C
Honey, I'm having the hardest time
 
 
[Verse 2]
   Am
We used to sail at night like stars
         C                             F
And we'd tell it like it is to all the folks
            C
She used to cut up my old blue jeans
    G7              C
And laugh at all my jokes

[Chorus 3]
C                                     F
Hold me closer, I think I need a friend
         C
Well, my longest night of lonesome
                G7
Is coming to an end
C                                        F
Hold me closer, as we walk into the wind
         C
Lay your love upon my busted heart
          G7                C
And we'll pray that it will mend
