Baby hold the line, I'm so far away

No matter how hard we try, some things we lose we never find
Dm F G
But baby you gotta hold the line
F Am G F Am G
Baby don't you hang up, you know I hate to hear you cry
F Am G F Am G
And I just gotta get some sleep, I don't want nightmares tonight
F Am G F Am G
And you'll feel better in the morning, and not so ragged and torn

Between your heart and your mind

Oh baby hold the line ,Yeah baby hold the line
