Standard (EADGBE)

 intro E (repeat)

 verse1 If you want to keep a woman like me, you got to hold on

  If you want to see how good it can be, baby, hold on

  All my friends think that I'm a fool

  I tell you something honey, they're not that cool

  If you want to keep a woman like me, you better hold on

verse2 If you want to know how far we can go, you got to hold on

If you take it slow then I got something to show you

Baby, hold on

All those girls with their empty heads

Can't fill 'em up with the lies they've been fed

If you want to know how far I can go, you got to hold on

turnaround like intro

 bridge She'll give you reasons for her kind

  You might believe it, but I'm not that blind

verse3 If you think you need a woman like me, you better hold on

If you want to find what I've got on my mind, baby, hold on

All this small talk that keeps us apart

Is only hiding how we feel in our hearts

If you want to keep a woman like me, baby, hold on

outro like intro
