Hold Me
E
B
You know that there's an achin' deep inside me
E

Tearin' me apart each lonely day
E
B
You can soothe my spirit with some of your lovin'
E

With you by my side we can make it OK
C#m
E
There's a way of love with you and I'm seeing the glow
C#m
B
All I need is understandin' just to let me grow
I can't tell you now 'bout all of my reasons
Burdens of this life have me in a trance
You can help unlock my other secrets
Though your warm embrace I give the good life a chance
There's a way of love with you and I'm feelin' it flow
All I need is understandin' just to let me grow
E
Hold me
B
E
B
Just a little tighter
E
'Cause when you hold me
B
E
B
I don't have to fight it
I don't want to sound like I'm full of self pity
'Cause that's not the way I want it to be
All I need for now is your love to forget her
Love so sweet completely settin' me free
There's a way of love with you and I'm seeing the glow
All I need is understandin' just to let me grow

I tell you I got it made
Never ever realized
That I was lonely
'Cause working on the road can be
It can be an escape
Dinner in a one night stop
Just meet me in the hall
Take a number in my black book
And promise to call, promise to call
Those long nights, those bright lights
Those carefree days
Those long nights, those bright lights
I tell you I got it made
Then I saw a bright face
Lit by a candle
Sitting in the bar alone
She filled the whole place
The magic of her presence
Who could walk up to her
Who would even dare to give
This woman-child a chase
Thought my nights were getting better
Just living by myself
But I got hooked on love this time
Now we got our own place, we got our own place
Those long nights, those bright lights
Those carefree days
Those long nights, those bright lights
I tell you I got it made
What You Gonna Do About Me?
D
A
You been givin' them all of your crush
G
A
You got them standin' in line-up
D
A
You know they all want to share your sweet stuff
G
A
But what you gonna do about me?
I'm the one you keep on runnin' to
After they've walked all over you
I'm the one who dries your lonely tears
So what you gonna do about me?
C
Baby what you gonna do about the one who really loves you?
D
What you gonna do 'bout the one that really cares?
C
Sugar what you gonna do about the one who wants you only?
D
How long do you think I can keep on waiting here?
You get a charge gettin' your selfish heart broken
Seeking out that same kind of charm
When you gonna realise you're only a token
Don't want to cause no serious alarm
But when the pressure gets to more than you can bear
Pick up the phone 'cause you know I wait to hear
And when you need to have a little real fun
Just count on me to be the one
Baby what you gonna do about the one who really loves you?
What you gonna do 'bout the one that really cares?
Sugar what you gonna do about the one who wants you only?
How long do you think I can keep on waiting here?
D7
G7
Let's get together, go out on the town
Go back to my place you can let your hair down
I got a few things I want to say to you
Ooh baby what you gonna do about me
Baby what you gonna do about the one who really loves you?
What you gonna do 'bout the one that really cares?
Sugar what you gonna do about the one who wants you only?
How long do you think I can keep on waiting here?
The Right Lane
E7sus4
E7
I've been livin' in the right lane
E7sus4
E7
Keepin' my speed a steady pace
E7sus4
E7
I've been tryin' to do the best thing
E7sus4
E7
Goin' a little slow, but staying in the race
C
Em
Always believed I could get what I wanted
C
A
Even if it took a little while
C
D
Always believed I could take care of my brother
E7sus4
E7
Do my thing with style
I've been livin' in the right lane
Sometimes arrive a little late
I've been tryin' to do the best thing
People tell me I shouldn't wait
There have been others travelin' the same road
Get just where they want to be
There have been times when I wanted to break my mould
To jump into another stream
I've been livin' in the right lane
Seeing others cruise on by
I've been tryin' to do the best thing
Think I'll give the passin' lane a try
Am I the kind who would run over my brother
Just to get where I should be?
Am I the kind to be content in my splendour
After all the trouble gettin' on the freeway?
I've been livin' in the right lane
I've been livin' in the right lane
I've been livin' in the right lane

The love he pretended he just didn't mean

Hurry love, hurry
'Fore this feeling fades and slips away
Hurry love, hurry let her see that I need her to lay
Close to my heart
Make her give our love another day
Don't let her throw what we once had away
Bring her back into my once happy dream
Don't let him take her away from me

Who's the judge of this anyway?
My music said what I had to say
Who decides if it's wrong or right?

Wonder why all the fuss is made?
