    A#                           Cm
The preacher talked to me and he smiled.
        F                               A#
Said, 'Come and walk with me, come and walk
one more mile.
                                  Cm
Now for once in your life you're alone,
         F                            G
but you ain't got a dime, there's no time
for the phone.'

Chorus:
           C                      Dm
I've just gotta get a message to you,
     F  G     C
hold on, hold on.
                                    Dm
One more hour and my life will be through,
     F  G     C   F
hold on, hold on.

I told him I'm in no hurry
But if I broke her heart, then won't you tell her
I'm sorry
And for once in my life, I'm alone
And I gotta let her know just in time before I go

Chorus

Well I laughed, but that didn't hurt
And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this
dirt
Now I'm crying, but deep down inside
Well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die

Chorus

 D                   Em
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
         G       A        D
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) Hold on.
          D                         Em
One more hour and my life will be through,
     G  A     D
hold on, hold on.

Chorus

           D                      Em
I've just gotta get a message to you,
     G  A     D
hold on, hold on.
          D                         Em
One more hour and my life will be through,
     G  A     D
hold on, hold on.
