[Verse]
F
It's what you know in your mind

You're going through hard times
               C
She's close to leaving
       F
Well I don't know all that much
                                              C
But you're maybe out of touch with what she's feeling


[Pre-Chorus]
   Dm
So before she slips away
             G
You'd better give her what she's needing


[Chorus]
          C            Am7
You gotta hold a woman
                F
To hold a woman
                     G
Those tender moments

That's all she's wanting
          C             Am7
You gotta slide on over
                       F
Really get to know her
                                G
Keep her in your arms after the loving is over
          Dm           G
You gotta hold a woman
          C
To hold a woman

Am7 F G


[Verse]
F
And make her understand
                                      C
You wanna be her friend, not just her lover
         F
It ain't about some red rose
                                       C
She just wants to know you're thinking of her


[Pre-Chorus]
       Dm
Oh now this is just me talking
         G
But from one friend to another


[Chorus]
          C            Am7
You gotta hold a woman
                F
To hold a woman
                     G
Those tender moments

That's all she's wanting
          C             Am7
You gotta slide on over
                       F
Really get to know her
                                G
Keep her in your arms after the loving is over
          Dm           G
You gotta hold a woman
          C
To hold a woman


[Bridge]
Am7 F G


[Outro Chorus]
          C             Am7
You gotta slide on over
                       F
Really get to know her
                                G
Keep her in your arms after the loving is over
          Dm           G
You gotta hold a woman
          C
To hold a woman
