I give most of the credit to paperbagheart for this tab, I just copy and pasted it and 
transposed it up to Capo 2 (and made the chords sit more rhythmically above the lyrics).

CAPO 2
Okay so here's the main riff in the beginning. I do the hammer on to the fifth fret with 
my pinky and barre the D string with my pinky to pick the fifth frets.

"Hold Onto Me"

VERSE 1:
               (main riff)
I know I've got my problems and it starts with me
               (main riff)
She saw something inside that I can't see
               (main riff)
And late at night, yeah she'll comfort me
     Am      Em
Hold onto me, Hold onto me

VERSE 2:
            (main riff)
I got a nervous habit and I drink too much
            (main riff)
She said she hates her life and wants to change her ways
            (main riff)
She wakes in the night and whispers Oh so quiet
     Am      Em
Hold onto me, Hold onto me
          Am         Em
Don't you ever leave, Don't you ever leave
            C              G
I know I've got my problems and its probably me
        Am      Em
So hold onto me, Hold onto me

VERSE 3:
             (main riff)
Stayed up to late and it hurts to breathe
             (main riff)
Said it's 4 A.M., girl go back to sleep
             (main riff)
Sometimes at night I can hear her dreams
     Am        Em
Come rescue me, Come rescue me
          Am         Em
Don't you ever leave, Don't you ever leave
          C               G
I know we got our problems and its probably me
        Am       Em
So hold onto me, Hold onto me

BRIDGE:
      C       G          D
I'm a drifters body in an open sea
         C       G                  D
And I've seen my reflection staring right back at me
     C            G            Em        D
With no place to go and you're left all alone
C             G           D
   There's no place like home


      Am     Em
Hold onto me, Hold onto me
     Am            Em
Just stay with me, Just stay with me
          C                G
I know we got our problems and you'll probably leave
        Am       Em
So hold onto me, Hold onto me
        Am           Em
I could never leave, I will never leave
        Am       Em
So hold onto me, Hold on to me
(end on main riff)
