C F G 
Mother to all people, she's still got some things to prove
 C F G 
Pressed to find a reason, you know, I could name a few
        Am F 
But sometimes I want a baby
     C F 
And oh, what can I do
 Dm G 
Morning brings another hymn to home

    C Dm       
So Hang on to me 
            G C 
You're the only thing I have
                 Dm   
To wash my body clean 
        G C 
Oh and guide me on my path

           F G 
When they held love like a trophy
              C F 
Like they've never been on their knees
             Am Dm 
But when it gets too dark to see
 G C 
You always call me back

 C F G 
I nearly fell to pieces Trying to wear my daddy's shoes
 C F G 
I'm working on a sequel You know good things come in two
          Am F 
She said your love makes me crazy
        C F 
And someday I'll have to choose
 Dm G 
Lover, that same trouble is just old news

    C Dm 
So Hang on to me
         G C 
I'm the only chance you've got
               Dm 
Set your body free
        G C 
Oh And keep you from falling apart
  
               F G 
when they'd held love like a trophy
              C F 
Like they've never been on their knees
 Am Dm 
It's a lonely life to lead
     G C 
And I could've spared you that
