[Verse 1]
A
The sky busted wide open
D E A
In the early morning 'fore the dawn
And the raindrops on the window pane
D E
Reminded me of nights back home
D
It's funny how a memory
A A/G# F#m
Sometimes can cut you to the bone

Hanging On, Hanging On
[Verse 2]
A
The town of Santa Fe
D E A
Had the smell of wood smoke in the air
She lived by herself

Sold her paintings on the square.

We shared the nights together
A A/G# F#m
Until the feeling was gone

Hanging On, Hanging On
[Bridge]
D
Two people come together
A
Knowing what they want from the start

They give their bodies freely
A
But keep their distance with their hearts
D
But a heart left untended
A A/G# F#m
Sometimes can turn into stone
E E7 A
Hanging On, Just Hanging On
[Verse]
A
A man needs a woman
D E A
More ways than he could ever know
But sometimes he takes it lightly
D E
Let's the fire burn down too low
D
When he goes to the bank of chances
A A/G# F#m
He finds that he is overdrawn

Hanging On, Hanging On
E E7 A
Hanging On, Just Hanging On
