A      B     E


[Verse 1]
        E                       A
On a quiet night driving out to Harriet's again
     A                 B         E
To breathe the air and soothe my mind
    E                                A
A stranger might get lost out in the emptiness
        A               B        E
If he don't know how to read the signs

A      A       B 


[Verse 2]
   E                           A
If Harriet isn't there I let myself in
                 A           B          E
Cause when she's gone, she's gone for a while
     E                           A
I'll stay a couple days, this is just a little trip
       A        B         E
To get out from under the pines


[Chorus]
     B                                      E
This place has got a hold on me, it's got a hold on
     B                                      E
This place has got a hold on me, it's got a hold on
A       E     B
Ooooooooooooooh


[Verse 3]
    E                              A
The desert will remind you who you oughta be
      A        B       E
It'll show you who you are
        E                              A
There's nothing to protect what you're hiding
        F#m             B        E
And I remember when she found my mark


[Chorus]
     B                                      E
This place has got a hold on me, it's got a hold on
     B                                      E
This place has got a hold on me, it's got a hold on
A
Ooooooooh
A       E    B
Ooooooooooooooh


[Verse 4]
      E                        A
Now I walk along the washout behind your place
    A           B      E
Lie down there in the sand
    E                           A
And all that doesn't matter, it drifts away
        F#m    B        E
And the wonder takes my hand

A      A      B     E
E     A      A      B      E


[Bridge]
          B                               E
She's the bright hot sun in the cold night
          B                                   E
She's the cold black darkness in the starlight
          F#m                        A B
There are those I held onto and let go


[Chorus]
         B                                   E
But this one's got a hold on me, she's got a hold on
     B                                   E
This one's got a hold on me, she's got a hold on
A     E  B
Ooooooooooh


[Verse 5]
E                              A
Early morning westbound on the interstate
    A            B       E
California still fast asleep
E                    A
Dawn is in my mirror once again
    F#m     B         E
The light begins to weep
