Hangin On

A

[Verse 1]
A
The sky busted wide open
D            E                  A
In the early morning 'fore the dawn

And the raindrops on the window pane
D                          E
Reminded me of nights back home

D
It's funny how a memory
                              A     A/G#  F#m
Sometimes can cut you to the bone
        E  E7            A
Hanging On,  Hanging On


[Verse 2]
A
The town of Santa Fe
D                 E                A
Had the smell of wood smoke in the air

She lived by herself
D                         E
Sold her paintings on the square.

D
We shared the nights together
                       A   A/G#   F#m
Until the feeling was gone
        E  E7            A       E   E7  A
Hanging On,  Hanging On


[Bridge]
D
Two people come together
                                 A
Knowing what they want from the start
E
They give their bodies freely
                                     A
But keep their distance with their hearts

D
But a heart left untended
                        A     A/G#   F#m
Sometimes can turn into stone
        E  E7            A
Hanging On, Just Hanging On

[Verse]
A
A man needs a woman
D              E             A
More ways than he could ever know

But sometimes he takes it lightly
D                            E
Let's the fire burn down too low

D
When he goes to the bank of chances
                        A    A/G#  F#m
He finds that he is overdrawn
        E  E7       A
Hanging On, Hanging On
        E  E7            A
Hanging On, Just Hanging On
