[Chorus 1]
C F
Hold me closer, I think she’s holding on to him
C
Would you care to dance a little longer?
G7
Would you mind taking me in?
C F
Hold me closer, if you could only just pretend
C
She might see me smiling somewhere
G7 C
And want me back again
[Verse 1]
Am
We used to go together a-waltzing
C F
Oh, she used to lead me out on the floor
C
But here I am with you tonight
G7 C
And she’s over there with Joe
[Chorus 2]
C F
Hold me closer, I think I just might cry
C
Well, I’m dusting off some memories
G7
That are waking up inside
C F
Hold me closer, and we’ll dance into the night
C
Though you might see me flash a grin
G7 C
Honey, I’m having the hardest time
[Verse 2]
Am
We used to sail at night like stars
C F
And we’d tell it like it is to all the folks
C
She used to cut up my old blue jeans
G7 C
And laugh at all my jokes

[Chorus 3]
C F
Hold me closer, I think I need a friend
C
Well, my longest night of lonesome
G7
Is coming to an end
C F
Hold me closer, as we walk into the wind
C
Lay your love upon my busted heart
G7 C
And we’ll pray that it will mend
[Chorus 1]
