Ben Folds Five foi uma banda de três integrantes de Chapel Hill, Carolina do Norte, Estados Unidos que tocava principalmente piano rock, embora apresentasse muitas influências do jazz.
Ben Folds era o vocalista principal, pianista, e compositor; Robert Sledge tocava baixo, e Darren Jessee tocava bateria. O principal sucesso da banda foi em 1998 com a canção "Brick".
Após a separação da banda em outubro de 2000 (supostamente amigável), Ben Folds seguiu em uma carreira solo com sucesso

HOLD THAT THOUGHT by BEN FOLDS FIVE From the album "The Sound of the Life of the Mind"
INTRO: F#sus2maj7
VERSE: F#B She broke down and cried at the strip mall acupuncturist F# While the world went on outside F# The Chinese doctor took her arm BF# Gazed at the floor, and read her wrist for the secrets in her mind
CHORUS: G#m "Here's your medicine," she said BF# "If you not smile at him, then someone else will" G#m You hold that thought BF# And I'll hold that thought too C#BF# Ooooooh - ooooh C#BAG Ooooooh - ooooh
VERSE: F#B I was shown the 36 ways I'm not available F# On a simple easy chart F#B Later on that evening on the beach in Santa Monica F# It was a very risky start
CHORUS: G#m Suppose this stupid chart is right BF# In a year will you still feel the same way? G#m Well, you hold that thought BF# And I'll hold that thought too C#BF# Ooooooh - ooooh C#BAG Ooooooh - ooooh

F#sus4 Ah C# Ah
VERSE: B Did you ever see the film where a man who's given spectacles F# That make the world look upside down? F#B He falls about the place, but in time he somehow readjusts G#m And when they take the glasses off BF# The eyes he's always had see sky below him and he falls again
CHORUS: G#m Well, you hold that thought B And I'll hold that thought G#m You hold that thought B And I'll hold that thought G#m You hold that thought B And I'll hold that thought
