VERSE1:
Chords:
C  x32010    Am x02210
F  x33211    G  320033


C                   F      Am  G
It's a kind of lust thing,     really

C                     F       Am  | G |
A little bit of brief   wandering  

       C                       F       Am      G        | C | F | Am | G |
And it started out two hearts,   cold,    with nothing to lose



PRE-CHORUS1:


    C          F             Am              G
And I don't suppose that you think that it's something

C          F            Am           G
I don't suppose that it bothers you, still




CHORUS1:
Chords:
C  x32010    Am x02210
F  x33211    G  320033


             C    F      Am      G
But it's the hold tight,    hold steady

C    F      Am           G
Hold tight, see where it goes

C                  F                  Am                G
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit daunting

C                     F                       Am     G        | C | F | Am | G |
This you can't erase, this will not be scared in the eye of the storm



[play: 4/4| C | F | Am | G |]




VERSE2:
Chords:
C  x32010    Am x02210
F  x33211    G  320033


       C   F     Am    G             C       F | Am | G |
In the moonlight    we walked in the park at night

          C   F   Am       G          C
We played go__olf    under statues of Lennon,

    F                Am          G
Our hearts bound for breaking at dawn




PRE-CHORUS2:


    C          F       Am            G
And I don't suppose it means much of anything

C          F             Am           G
I don't suppose that you think of it, too




CHORUS2:
Chords:
C  x32010    Am x02210
F  x33211    G  320033


             C    F      Am      G
But it's the hold tight,    hold steady

C    F            Am          G
Hold tight, we're back in the game

C                  F                  Am                G
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit over

C                  F                  Am                G   | C | F | Am | G |
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit over again



[Instrumental over: 4/4| C | F | Am | G |]  [x3]




PRE-CHORUS3:


    C         F              Am            G
And I don't suppose that you think much of anything

C            F             Am           G
But I really hope that you think of me, still




CHORUS3:
Chords:
C  x32010    Am x02210
F  x33211    G  320033


                C    F      Am      G
'Cause it's the hold tight,    keep steady

C    F            Am          G
Hold tight, we're back in the game

C    F      Am      G
Hold tight,    hold steady now

C    F      Am   G
Hold tight, hold on

C    F      Am      G
Hold tight,    hold steady

C    F            Am          G
Hold tight, we're back in the game

C                  F                  Am                G
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit over

C                  F                  Am                G   | C | F | Am | G |
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit over again
