Bb                      F
Why, why, why won't you   sympathize    ^ ^
    Bb                          F       Eb
And tell me where you're coming from?
Bb                    F
My, my, my, don't you   realize
F                C            Eb
We're not loving when there's something wrong?
Bb                     F
Come here mama, let me   make it right
  Bb                           F  Eb Eb/Bb
I know that we can work it out
    Bb                       F
But no sense talking about a   love gone bad


[Chorus]

You got to hold on, hold on baby
A    E   A    E
Hold on, hold on babe

You got to hold on


Bb                    F
Why, why is it always   something new?
                                  ^ ^
Bb                            F   Eb
Baby, I'm just dying to please
Bb                        F
Cry, cry, cry when you're singing the blues
F        C           Eb
I'm just bringing my    sympathies
Bb                         F
Hey, little mama won't you   change your mind?
                             ^ ^
Bb                     F     Eb
    Don't go running a way
Bb                         F
Please come home where you know you belong
