G         C       G
Don't lose your grip on love
D     Em        Bm   Em
Don't lose your grip on love
        C          G                       Em
Take me higher and higher like a jet plane flies
          G         D        Em  G
But don't lose your grip on love


[Verse 1]
             F          C         D
Why do you despise this traveling man?
G                F         C            D
Even though he's doing the best that he can
Em             A    Em        A
Working for peanuts as is his wan​t
Em                 A             C
How come you don't hear him when he says


[Chorus]
       D     G         C       G
Honey, don't lose your grip on love
D     Em        Bm   Em
Don't lose your grip on love
        C          G                       Em
Take me higher and higher like a jet plane flies
          G         D        Em  G
But don't lose your grip on love


[Verse 2]
              F              C             D
Said he was a fire sign when he first came by
G                F           C                      D
But fire sign or water sign, you still can hear him cry
Em          A       Em                   A
He put up a statue, then burned down the town
Em                      A                 C        D
And the first words his tongue spoke when he came around was


[Chorus]
      G         C       G
Don't lose your grip on love
D     Em        Bm   Em
Don't lose your grip on love
        C          G                       Em
Take me higher and higher like a jet plane flies
          G         D        Em  G
But don't lose your grip on love

[Verse 3]
G               F            C         D
And when he was in trouble and feeling so low
G                 F              C               D
His friends had deserted him, he had no place to go
Em               A         Em                A
He seemed like a dead man, but be that as it may
Em                       A         C           D
Well, I thought he was joking when I heard him say


[Chorus]
      G         C       G
Don't lose your grip on love
D     Em        Bm   Em
Don't lose your grip on love
        C          G                       Em
Take me higher and higher like a jet plane flies
          G         D        Em  G
But don't lose your grip on love
