Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Hold On to Yourself: chords

Am
I'm so far away from you
F
Pacing up and down my room
Dm                             Am
Does Jesus only love a man who loses?
Am
I turn on the radio
F
There's some cat on the saxophone
Dm                      Am
Laying down a litany of excuses
Am
There's madhouse longing in my baby's eyes
F
She rubs the lamp between her thighs
Dm                            Am
And hopes the genie comes out singing
Am
She lives in some forgotten song
F
And moves like she is zombie-strong
Dm                                     Am
Breathes steady as the pendulum keeps swinging

Chorus:
Am          F              Am
You better hold on to yourself

Well, cities rust and fall to ruin
Factories close and cars go cruising
In and around the borders of her vision
She says oh woah woah woah
As Jesus makes the flowers grow
All around the scene of her collision

Chorus:
             C   G            Am
You know I would, yes, I would
         F             Am
I would hold on to yourself

In the middle of the night
I try my best to chase outside
The phantoms and the ghosts and the fairy-girls
On 1001 nights like this
She mutters open sesame and
Ali Baba and his forty thieves
Launch her off the face of the world

Chorus:
         C      G           Am
You know one day I'll come back
         F             Am
And I'd hold on to yourself
F            Dm                 Am
To yourself, I'd hold on to yourself

Babe, I'm 1000 miles away
And I just don't know what to say
Cause Jesus only loves a man who bruises
But darling we can clearly see
It's all life and fire and lunacy
And excuses and excuses and excuses

Chorus:
Well, you know if I could I would
Yeah, I would lie right down
And I'd hold on to yourself
Yeah, I would lie right down
And I would hold on to yourself

One day I'll come back to you
And I'll hold on to yourself
Yeah, I'm gonna come back
Gonna lie down
And I'll hold on to yourself
