Hold Me to It

Verse 1

Piano and voice, raw and close

I said I'd be home by nineI said I'd put the bottle downI said a lot of things, girlIn the yellow kitchen lightYou wrote them on the fridge in red

Pre-Chorus

Don't let me talk my way out, girlI'm too good at talking

Chorus

Hold me to it, baby, pleaseEvery single word I sworeWhen I start to slipHold me to it, baby, please

Verse 2

Last Tuesday I drove past the liquor storeKept on driving and I called youYou said, I've got the list right hereRead me number three out loud

Pre-Chorus

Don't let me talk my way out, girlI'm too good at talking

Chorus

Drums and bass enter, horns accenting the beat

Hold me to it, baby, pleaseEvery single word I sworeWhen I start to slipHold me to it, baby, please

Bridge

Stripped to piano, raspy runs

I can't promise I won't fall againPromise me you won't let me go

Final Chorus

Full band swell, explosive raspy belt

Hold me to it, baby, pleaseEvery single word I sworeWhen I start to slipHold me to it, baby, pleaseHold me to it, baby, pleaseEvery single word I sworeWhen I start to fallHold me to it, baby, please
