The Hold Up Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [A]went to [G]the corner store
[A]With [G]hoes in my drawers[A]
Left all [G]my cigarettes up in [A]smoke[D][A]
And there was a man behind
[G]the counter,[A]
[G]well he hailed from Louisiana,
[A]and he was kind and[G]
our only en[A]counter.[D][A]
So grab the matches and booze
[D]and t[G]he cigarettes too
[A]You turned me a smile
that I wish I'd known a while longer
But if you were [G]any other day
[D]I'd have been whist
[G]ling and walking away
[D]But when [G]life pulls the reins
and [Bm]whips at
You can[A]'t help but to find
more [D]pain[G][A]
So I gathered [D]up my shame
I've been feel[G]ing for days
[D]Well, wouldn't I have me to sustain
[A]And I [D]thought of my kids,
my [G]wife and the shit
[D]That we'd gone through
just to get here to this
[A]Oh, and you[D] hit the bottom
and [G]your soul is
[D]We just keep dropping [A]a little lower
And if it were [G]any other day
[D]I'd have been whist
[G]ling and walking away
[D]But when [G]life pulls the reins
And it [Bm]whips at the main
You [A]can't help but to find
more [D]pain[G][A]
So I took [D]a deep breath
From [G]all I had left
[D]And I raised my hand
And I'm holding my re[A]gret
Hear the [D]pistol pointed last
When I [G]grabbed on the cash
[D]He reached for his
We don't make [A]it fast
And then all that transpired
[D]Was [G]done with one [A]fire
And none of my shame
[D]Was[A] left to desire
If it were [G]any other day
[D]I'd have been whist[G]ling
and walking away
[Bm]But when l[G]ife pulls the reins
And [Bm]whips at the mane
You [A]can't help but to find more pain
You can't help but to find more [G]pain
you
