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

So I can come home to find you?

Bring her on up

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

Why won't you hold on that line, I'm coming for ya
E B F#
Because I hold you (so high)

Well let me hold you (so tight)

So won't you hold up (that light)

So I can come home to find you?
[Outro]

Hold up that light
F# B F#
I'm lost at sea
F# B F#
But I'm coming home
