VERSE:
Em              C       G
Talking like we used to do
Em            C       G
It was always me and you
Em             C        G
Shaken up and shippin' out
Em               C        G
Check me in and check me out

Em                  C       G
Do you like walking in the rain
          Em                    C       G
When you think of love, do you think of pain 
Em              C         G
You can tell me what you see
Em                 C       G
I will choose what I believe

CHORUS:
G           C/G
Hold on, darling

This body is yours, this body is yours and mine
G           C/G
Hold on my darling
                                       (Em)
This mess was yours, now your mess is mine

VERSE:
Em              C      G
See you in the market place
Em                C  G
Walking around at 8 AM
Em               C         G
Got two hours before my flight
Em            C      G
Rub me on my side tonight

            Em            C        G
You're the reason that I feel so strong
     Em              C       G
The reason that I'm hanging on
     Em              C         G
You know you gave me all that time
Em              C      G
Did I give.....


CHORUS:
G           C/G
Hold on, darling

This body is yours, this body is yours and mine
G           C/G
Hold on my darling

This mess was yours, now your mess is mine

Sorry for the mess, ''Hey I don't mind''
Em               C

G                        D
You're talking in your sleep, out of time
Em               C

G                            D
Well you still make sense to me, your mess is mine

Sing along

Talking like we used to do
It was always me and you
Shaping up and shipping out
Check me in and check me out

Do you like walking in the rain?
When you think of love, do you think of pain?
You can tell me what you see
I will choose what I believe

Hold on, darling
This body is yours,
This body is yours and mine
Well hold on, my darling
This mess was yours,
Now your mess is mine

Your mess is mine

See you in the marketplace
Walking 'round at 8am
Got 2 hours before my flight
Luck be on my side tonight

You're the reason that I feel so strong
The reason that I'm hanging on
You know you gave me all the time
Oh, did I give enough of mine?

Hold on, darling
This body is yours,
This body is yours and mine
Well hold on, my darling
This mess was yours,
Now your mess is mine

Bring me to your house
Tell me sorry for the mess
Hey, I don't mind
You're talking in your sleep
Out of time
Well, you still make sense to me
Your mess is mine

Your mess is mine
This body's yours and this body's mine
Your mess is mine
