Lyrics

There’s glit ter on the floor af ter the par ty,

girls car ry ing their shoes down in the lob by,

can dle wax and Po la roids on the hard wood floor,

you and me from the night be fore.

But don’t (Am7)read

the (C)last page, but I (Am7)stay

when you’re lost, and I’m scared, and you’re turn ing a way.

I (Am7)want

your (C)mid nights, but I’ll be clean ing up (Am7)bot tles with you on (C)New Year’s Day.

You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the (C)tax i.

I can tell that it’s gon na be a long road.

I’ll be there if you’re the toast of the town, babe,

(C)or if you strike out and you’re crawl ing home.

Don’t (Am)read

the (C)last page, but I (Am)stay

when it’s hard, or it’s wrong, or we’re mak ing mis takes.

I (Am)want

your (C)mid nights, but I’ll be clean ing up (Am7)bot tles with you on (C)New Year’s Day.

Hold on

Hold on to the mem (F)o ries; they will (G)hold on to you.

Hold on to the mem (F)o ries; they will (G)hold on to you.

And I will (G)hold on to you.
