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

So I can come home to find you?

[Bridge]
D C G C G
I do my best thinking, thinking in the shower
C G C G
Sometimes I do my pre-drinking, drinking in the shower
D C G C G
So I think about my neighbors and the politics and labor
C G C G
Between Karl and Groucho, I couldn't tell you which I favor
[Chorus]
F C G
Because I hold you (so high)
F C G
Well let me hold you (so tight)

So won't you hold up (that light)

Hold up that light
G C G
I'm lost at sea
G C G
But I'm coming home
