Em  D  A  C

[Verse 1]
D                        C
Great guns, flesh borders no time to sing God bless
D                   C
High church disorder tall dark evangelist
D                      C
Red brick, loose mortar here in Los Angeles
Em           C     Em          C
Woke up one morning shakin' so hard

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
D                   C
 One last crescendo, the band won't play all night
D                     C
 Look out your window, here comes the fire light
D                  C
 Tonight, tomorrow, I say we hold on tight
Em             C            Em          C
Some sing it’s all right in temples and bars

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]
Em  D  A
Em  D  A
Em  D  A

[Verse 3]
D                          C
Still chained, the free man who swore the slave was dead
D                    C
Don't run to meet him the frightened fool you've wed
D                         C
Can't find the tree stand no, not the spider shed
Em         C         Em             C
Forget the foothills  you won't get far

[Chorus]
Em      D              A
You need someone to hold on to, someone higher than the stars
Em      D              A
You need someone to drive under so the sky won’t crush your car
Em      D              A
I need someone to hold on to, someone higher than the moon
Em      D              A
I need someone to hide under cause the sky is falling soon
Em       D               A
You need someone to hold on to
Em     D               A
I need someone to hold on to
Em       D               A
You need someone to hold on to
Em     D               A
I need someone to hold on to
