[Verse 1]
E D A
We were rolling down Beale street
D A
In the Tennessee summer heat
D A
I can't say it's the land of free
D A
But I'll tell ya, the booze runs cheap
E D A
And there we met Drake's dad
D A
Told him we came from Hamilton
D A
He said he knew a Canadian girl
D A
Who had a thing for Americans
[Pre-Chorus]
D Dm A
And all the girls back home will tell you
D Dm A
Some grown ass men acting like boys
D Dm
There's some Peter Pan shit we're tryna work out
A B
But when Sunday comes around, will you dig us on out?
D
So we can be in your arms again
E
Let me be in your arms again
[Chorus]
G D A
Because I hold you (so high)
G D A
Well let me hold you (so tight)
G D A
So won't you hold up (that light)
F#m A
So I can come home to find you?
[Interlude]
A
Yeah, yeah
D A
D A
Yeah, yeah
D A
[Verse 2]
E D A
We took the 40 down to Nashville
D A
We started getting a bit irrational
D A
The place was asking had questions
D A
For a bunch of bachelors
E D A
So we stumbled down Broadway
D A
Everybody getting sloppy
D A
We met some girls getting married
D A
But they came here to party
[Pre-Chorus]
D Dm A
And no one knows how we made it back to the hotel
D Dm A
Adam took off his pants again, yes he did
D Dm
There's some Peter Pan shit we're tryna work out
A B
But when Sunday comes around, will you dig us on out?
D
So we can be in your arms again
E
Girl, let me be in your arms again
[Chorus]
G D A
Because I hold you (so high)
G D A
Well let me hold you (so tight)
G D A
So won't you hold up (that light)
F#m A
So I can come home to find you?
B
Bring her on up
B
B-b-bring her on up

[Bridge]
F# E B E B
I do my best thinking, thinking in the shower
E B E B
Sometimes I do my pre-drinking, drinking in the shower
F# E B E B
So I think about my neighbors and the politics and labor
E B E B
Between Karl and Groucho, I couldn't tell you which I favor
[Chorus]
A E B
Because I hold you (so high)
A E B
Well let me hold you (so tight)
A E B
So won't you hold up (that light)
G#m
Why won't you hold on that line, I'm coming for ya
A E B
Because I hold you (so high)
A E B
Well let me hold you (so tight)
A E B
So won't you hold up (that light)
G#m B
So I can come home to find you?
[Outro]
B E B
Hold up that light
B E B
I'm lost at sea
B E B
But I'm coming home
