Hold Me Closer, Song & Lyrics By Christopher R. Kolb, February 20, 2024
B-_ _ _ _ D/A _ _ _ _ E-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ B-_ _ _ _D/A _ _ _ _ A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Feelin’, feelin’ kind of down no desire to walk in a crowd
Not up for minglin’ at the Pilot House summer traffic’s too frenetic n’ loud
Everywhere I go, don’t look the same there’s a filter over the summer sun
Blue so clear not a cloud defines the sky I’m floating upside-down n’
grasping at the ground

D/A_ _ _ _ G/B (Left hand E) _ _ _ _ F/C _ _ _ _ C _ _ _ _
So won’t you hold me, hold me, hold me closer to you.
Hold me, hold me, hold me closer to you.
Hold me, hold me, hold me closer to you.
Won’t you hold me.

God, what if we never met the girls were never born I was back in tinsel town or
mining for gold somewhere
We try, we get by, we’re doin’ fine, I say. The kids are young we have fun happy
mess on the floors.
But what if I hadn’t approached you that cold October when the snotty waters
ripped upon the shore?
And the mansions lay lonely upon their bluffs above do you recall my Matissekitten sheets and double bed, my Love.
Someone said our love is based on healing. Someone said our love is based on
healing.
Someone said our love is based on healing. Someone said our love is based on
healing.
D/A_ _ _ _ G/B (Left hand E) _ _ _ _ F/C _ _ _ _ C _ _ _ _
So won’t you hold me, hold me, hold me closer to you.
Hold me, hold me, hold me closer to you.
Hold me, hold me, hold me closer to you.
Won’t you hold me
