--------------------------------------------------------------- JOHN MICHAEL MONTGOMERY - HOLD ON TO ME Released by Atlantic Nashville on 10th June 1998. --------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:PJVillanueva I wanna wake up each morning With you for the rest of my life I wanna feel your heart beating And just get lost in your eyes You can tell me your secrets You can let me feel your pain You can show me your weakness And never be ashamed Hold on to me when your world's turnin' cold When it feels like your life's spinnin' out of control You're hopin', prayin', tryin' so hard to believe Hold on to me when there's no middle ground And every emotion is comin' unwound And you don't know if you can hold on to your dreams Baby you can hold on to me I wanna lay down each evenin' With you right here by my side I wanna get drunk on your laughter And wipe all the tears when you cry You can scare me with your darkness You can blind me with your light Throw your worries out the window baby On your wildest night Hold on to me when your world's turnin' cold When it feels like your life's spinnin' out of control You're hopin', prayin', tryin' so hard to believe Hold on to me when there's no middle ground And every emotion is comin' unwound And you don't know if you can hold on to your dreams Baby you can hold on to me Hold on to me when there's no middle ground And every emotion is comin' unwound And you don't know if you can hold on to your dreams Baby you can hold on I said Baby you can hold on I said Baby you can hold on to me Use a capo on the 1st fret 12/8 Intro e|------ ------ ------ ------|------ ------ ------ ------| B|-------0-------------0-----|-------0-------------0-----|
