Holdin' On To You
G C
I'm holdin' on to you when I close my eyes
D C D
You're still in my arms and we never said goodbye
G C
And it's all that I can do to go on with my life
D Am C D
But that's supposed to be the reason why I'm here tonight
Am C Am C
In a downtown restaurant with a friend of a friend
Am C Am C D
Well she sure likes to talk and I ain't heard a single word she's said…
(chorus)
C
Oh, but every now and then I nod
G D
And I pretend to pay attention and I say things like "uh huh"
G
And "yeah, you're right" and "are you kiddin"
C D Am
And I laugh when it seems like the right thing to do
G C G
It's hard to hold a conversation, holding on to you.
(2X 2ND time)
D C G
I'd give anything, just to hear your voice
Am C Am D
Or see you look at me and smile, oh but what I miss the most
G C
Is holding on to you 'cause here I am tonight
D Am C D
Starin' at a woman who's the last thing on my mind
( repeat chorus)
G C
Holdin' on to you when I close my eyes
D C D G
You're still in my arms and we never said goodbye…
