Thomas Alan Waits (nacido en Pomona (California) el 7 de diciembre de 1949) es un pianista, cantante, compositor y actor estadounidense, famoso por sus canciones de tono áspero inspiradas en escritores de la generación Beat, en especial Jack Kerouac
En 1967 comenzó a trabajar en los cabarets de Los Ángeles, ambiente que le influyó mucho para las canciones de su primer disco, Closing Time (1973), aunque este álbum se vio eclipsado por The Eagles y Tim Buckley

[INTRO]
E x4 (Throw a Esus4 in every now and then)
[VERSE 1]
EA They hung a sign up in our town BE "If you live it up, you won't live it down" EA So she left Monte Rio, son BEE Just like a bullet leaves a gun AB With her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips EA She went and took that California trip F#mB Well the moon was gold, her hair like wind F#mBB She said don't look back, just come on Jim
[CHORUS]
EBEA Oh you got to hold on, hold on, --you gotta hold on EBE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
[VERSE 2]
EA Well he gave her a dime store watch BE And a ring made from a spoon EA Everyone's looking for someone to blame BEE If you share my bed you share my name AB Well go ahead and call the cops EAA You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops F#mB --She said baby I still love you F#mBB Sometimes there's nothing left to do
[CHORUS]
EBEA Oh you got to hold on, hold on, --you gotta hold on EBE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
[VERSE 3]
EA Well god bless your crooked little heart BE St. Louis got the best of me EA I miss your broken china voice BEE How I wish you were still here with me AB Well you build it up and wreck it down EAA Then you burn your mansion to the ground F#mB When there's nothing to keep you here F#mBB When you're falling behind in this big blue world
[CHORUS]
EBEA Oh you got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on EBEE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
[VERSE 4]
EA Down by the Riverside Motel BE It's 10 below and falling EA By a 99 cent store BEE She closed her eyes and started swaying AB But it' so hard to dance that way EAA When it's cold and there's no music F#mB Well your old home town's so far away F#mBB But inside your head there's a record that's playing
[CHORUS]
EBEA A song called Hold On, hold on, baby gotta hold on EBE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
EBEA You got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on EBE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on EBEA You got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on EBE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on EBEA You got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on EBE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
