Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]He'[E]s o[D]ut there[G]
somewhere every night
Where [C]the music's playing [G]loud
Doing all the 50's steps,
[A]in a 198[D]0 crowd

[Verse 2]
[G]The dim lights hide his millage lines
[C]The Clairol hides [G]the gray
And [C]he won't mention [G]anything
That [D]gives his age away
[G]

[Verse 3]
[A]Lord, [G]he's [C]thirty-nine and and [G]holding
[D]Holding everything he [G]can
From [C]seventeen to [G]twenty-five
He'll He'll [A]prove he's still [D]a man

[Verse 4]
He's [G]holding to a candle
And it's [C]burning at both end[G]s
He's [C]thirty-nine and and [G]holding
Hold[D]ing everything he can

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 5]
[G]You can bet he'll never see
[C]Thirty-nine again
[G]again
He should have turned loose long ago
But [A]still he's hangin' it [D]in

[Verse 6]
[G]He still thinks that he is the man
[C]That he used to [G]be
He's [C]thirty-nine and and [G]holding
And [D]acting twenty-three

[Verse 7]
[G]Lord, Lord,
He's [C]thirty-nine and and [G]holding
Hold[D]ing everything he [G]can
[D]From sev[C]enteen to twe[G]nty-five
To [A]To prove he's still a [D]man

[Verse 8]
He's [G]holding to a candle
My God, it's [C]burning at both ends
[G]He's thi[C]rty-nine and and hol[G]ding
[D]Holding everything he [G]can[D]
[G][D][G]
