Hand To Hold On To

Written by John Mellencamp

	  		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 
 
(repeat Chorus 3 times)
