Hand To Hold On To

A                                
You can laugh and joke and make fun 
F#m
of your friends
A                           F#m
Spin in the middle when the troubles
 begin
D                         E
Take it nice and easy and always 
pretend
D                   E
That you're cool, so cool, so cool

A                              
Say I'm alone and I'm wild and I 
F#m
will not be tamed
A                         F#m
Talk like a jerk or an educated 
brain
D                         E
Be an old girl drivin' the young 
boys insane
D                                 
Be a joker, a preacher, it does 
   E
not matter

Chorus:

A                 F#m
Every one needs a hand to hold on to
A                 F#m
Every one needs a hand to hold on to
D                    E
Don't need to be no strong hand
D                   E
Don't need to be no rich hand
D              E                 
Every one just needs a hand to 
   A
hold on to

repeat intro

A                            F#m
Havin' good luck with your financial
 situation
A                             F#m
Play the ponies, be president of the
 United Nations
D                   E
Go to work and be a Hollywood stud
D                               E
Drive your four-wheel drive right 
into the mud, yeah

(repeat Chorus)

A              F#m            
And then those hours when you're 
    A
alone
            F#m                 
And there's no body there except 
      A
yourself
               F#m              
I know it, you wanna pick up the 
  A
phone
           D
And say, "Talk to me, talk to me
          E
Somebody please talk to me"

yeah...ah...ah...ahhh

Oh, yeah...ah
