Hand To Hold On To

A                                F#m
You can laugh and joke and make fun 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                              F#m
Say I'm alone and I'm wild and I 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                                    E
Be a joker, a preacher, it does 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                    A
Every one just needs a hand to 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                A
And then those hours when you're alone 
            F#m                       A
And there's no body there except yourself 
               F#m                A
I know it, you wanna pick up the phone 
           D
And say, "Talk to me, talk to me 
          E
Somebody please talk to me" 
 
yeah...ah...ah...ahhh 
 
instrumental: (verse chords) 
 
Oh, yeah...ah
