[CHORUS]
[C]Won't you give me [Bb]something
[F]Something to hold [C]on to
[C]This whole world has [Bb]taken
[F]Taken me for a [C]ride

[VERSE 1]
You come [C]smiling through the doorway [Bb]looking like an old re[C]gret
Still a w[C]hole lot better than you [Bb]did last time we [C]met
Between a[C] real hard spot and a hol[Bb]e in a concrete w[C]all
[C]Running out of highway [Bb]looking for a place to f[C]all

[CHORUS]
[C]Won't you give me [Bb]something
[F]Something to hold [C]on to
[C]This whole world has [Bb]taken
[F]Taken me for a [C]ride
[C]Pick me up and [Bb]learn me
[F]Turn me down and [C]burn me
[C]Darling won't you [Bb]give me
[F]Give me one last [C]try

[VERSE 2]
Well to [C]tell you true I thought we'd n[Bb]ever be here a[C]gain
Gonna f[C]eel alright now d[Bb]arling for the shape I'm [C]in
Nearly [C]fell to pieces just t[Bb]hinking it would all fall [C]through
Feeling[C] like somebody when you f[Bb]inally came into [C]view

[CHORUS]
[C]Darling won't you [Bb]give me something
[F]Something to hold [C]on to
[C]This whole world [Bb]has taken
[F]Taken me for a [C]ride
[C]Pick me up and [Bb]learn me
[F]Turn me down and [C]burn me
[C]Darling won't you [Bb]give me
[F]Give me one last [C]try

[VERSE 3]
Now I [C]won't say it all w[Bb]orked out like I p[C]lanned
[C]Lucky I still got a [Bb]leg on which to [C]stand
[C]I had a [C]half of [C]mind to g[Bb]et g[C]one
[C]Leave it a [C]little t[C]ry to m[Bb]ove [C]on
[C]But I just sat there s[Bb]taring at the secondhand[C]
[C]On the barroom wall now

[CHORUS]
[C]Darling won't you [Bb]give me something
[F]Something to [C]hold on to
[C]This whole world has [Bb]taken
[F]Taken me for a [C]ride
