 HOLD THE LINE  (Toto)

  

  

  

  Am7             Bm7          Em7      Bm7 Bbm7

  It's not in the way that you hold me, 

  Am7             Bm7             Em7   Bm7 Bbm7

  it's not in the way you say you care

  Am7             Bm7             Cmaj7       D7      Bm7 Bbm7

  It's not in the way you've been treating my friends

  Am7             Bm7             Cmaj7        D7     Bm7 Bbm7

  It's not in the way that you stayed till the end

  Am7             Bm7                 Cmaj7                           D7

  It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

  

  Chorus (2x):

  

           Em    G/H  C6/g  D

  Hold the line,             

             Dsus D    Em   G/H  C6/g  D  Dsus  D

  love isn't always on time,             oh oh oh

  

  It's not in the words that you told me, girl

  It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh

  It's not in the way that you came back to me

  It's not in the way that your love set me free

  It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

  

  Chorus

  

  (Instrumental break - sorry, no chords for that so far)

  

  It's not in the words that you told me

  It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh

  It's not in the way that you came back to me

  It's not in the way that your love set me free

  It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

  

  Chorus - love isn't always on time

  

  Hold the line, love isn't always on time -

  love isn't always, love isn't always on time

  Hold the line, love isn't always on time, love isn't always on time

  Love isn't always on time, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

  

  

  #1: The rhythm is a straight 6/8 throughout, but sometimes they play it

      like a 3/4. The accents are as follows (somehow. Listen to the song

      and you'll figure it out):

  

  Verse:

  ONE two three FOUR five six  [3x and then:]  ONE two THREE four FIVE six

  |Am7 . . . . . |Bm7 . . . . . |Em7 . . . . .|Em7 . Bm7 . Bbm7 .|

  

  Chorus:

  |Em . . . . . |G/H . C6/g . . .|D . . . . . |Dsus . . D . . |

  

  #2: The voicing is for playing it with a single (acoustic) guitar. If you

  have a band, however, you don't have to play all the notes yourself ;-)
