Someone to Hold Onto

The Choir



Em  D  A  C

D 

Great guns, flesh borders

A

No time to sing "God bless..."

D

High church disorder

A

Tall dark evangelist

D

Red brick, loose mortar

A

Here in Los Angeles

Em           C

Woke up one morning

Em          C

Shakin' so hard



Em      D              A

I need someone to hold on to



Someone higher than the stars

Em      D              A

I need someone to hide under



Should the sky fall on my car

Em      D              A      C

I need someone to hold on to



One last crescendo

The band won't play all night

Look out your window

Here comes the fire light

Tonight, tomorrow

I say we hold on tight

Some sing "It's Alright."

In temples and bars



repeat chorus:



Still chained, the free man

Who swore the slave was dead

Don't run to me then

The frightened fool you've wed

Can't find the tree stand?

No, not the spider shed!

Forget the foothills

You won't get far





You need someone to hold on to

Someone higher than the stars

You need someone to drive under

So the sky won't crush your car

I need someone to hold on to

Someone higher than the moon

I need someone to hide under

'Cause the sky is falling soon...
