Artist: Gin Blossoms Title: Hold Me Down (4:50) Written by: Doug Hopkins Primary Contributor: stryder1017 Secondary Contributor: Michael David Parent Note: Piece of advice. If you are playing an acoustic, the Second Guitar sounds great, but if you're using an electric go with the Primary.

So I guess I ^B5must have just ^C#5been ^Ddreaming When I thought I ^A5heard myself say ^Eno Anyway it ^B5looks like no ^C#5one ^Dheard me so here I ^A5go ^D5 ^A5

Verse 2:

Cause when you're in the ^B5company^C#5 of ^D5strangers Or just the ^A5strangers you call ^Efriends ^B5You know before ^C#5you ^D5start just how it's going to ^A5end ^D5 ^A5

Chorus 1:

So remember ^B5When the doors ^C#5swing ^D5open and all the ^A5drinks are passed ^Earound Anytime the ^B5pickins look ^C#5too e^D5asy - hold me ^A5dow^D5n ^A5

Verse 3:

I can't remember ^B5why I like ^C#5this ^D5feeling When it only ^A5seems to let me ^Edown Soon I find I'm ^B5searching for ^C#5the ^D5exit from the ^A5gro^D5und^A5

Verse 4:

If I think the ^B5room is tur^C#5ning ^D5faster Then I think the ^A5music is too ^Eloud By then I've lived ^B5another bro^C#5ken ^D5story to let me ^A5dow^D5n ^A5

Chorus 2:

So remember ^B5When those doors ^C#5swing ^D5open and all the ^A5drinks are passed ^Earound When half the party ^B5moves into ^C#5the ^D5bathroom - hold me ^A5dow^D5n ^A5

Chorus 3:

Or if you're at the ^B5tail end of ^C#5the ^D5evening And Dr. ^A5Feelgood comes ^Earound Anytime the ^B5pickins look ^C#5too e^D5asy - hold me ^A5dow^D5n ^A5

Play this once: B5 - C#5 - D5 - A5 - E B5 - C#5 - D5 - A5 - D5 - A5 Verse 5:

Well I guess I ^B5must have just ^C#5been ^D5reeling When I felt ^A5myself begin to ^Efall I realize I'm ^B5bounding down ^C#5the ^D5hallways and off the ^A5wal^D5ls ^A5

Verse 6: B5 C5# D5 If my bed was standing in the corner

I could just ^A5fall into it right ^Enow And know that I'd be ^B5staring at ^C#5the ^D5ceiling going roun^A5d ^D5 ^A5

Chorus 4:

The conclusion is a little too complicated for me, and the Fill Stryder used was inadequate so I didn't bother. If you come up with improvements feel free to submit a corrected version.
