THE HOLD TIGHT

by Nerina Pallot

------------------------------------------------------

VERSE 1:

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

And it started out two hearts, cold, kids with nothing

C F Am G

to lose.

-------------------------------------------------------

PRE-CHORUS 1:

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.

-------------------------------------------------------

CHORUS 1:

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

This you can't erase, this will not be scared, in the eye

C F Am G C F Am G

of the storm.

-------------------------------------------------------

VERSE 2:

C F Am G

In the moonlight, we walked

C F Am G

in the park at night.

C F Am G

We played go-olf, under statues

C F Am G

of Lennon, our hearts bound for breaking at dawn.

-------------------------------------------------------

PRE-CHORUS 2:

C F Am G

And I don't suppose that it means much of anything,

C F Am G

I don't suppose that you think of it too.

-------------------------------------------------------

CHORUS 2:

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

just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit over

C F Am G C F Am G

again.

Cos it's the hold tight, keep steady,

hold tight, back in the game.

Hold tight, hold steady now,

C F Am G

Hold tight, hold on.....

-------------------------------------------------------

CHORUS 4:

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,

just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit over,

C F Am G

again.
