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    
Sometimes can cut you to the bone
 A/G#  F#m

        E  E7            A
Hanging On,  Hanging On


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

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

D
We shared the nights together
                       A   A/G#   
Until the feeling was gone
F#m

        E  E7            A       
Hanging On,  Hanging On
E   E7  A



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

D
But a heart left untended
                        A     A/G#
Sometimes can turn into stone
   F#m

        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#  
He finds that he is overdrawn
F#m

        E  E7       A
Hanging On, Hanging On
        E  E7            A
Hanging On, Just Hanging On
