CAPO 1 
 
VERSE 1: 
            D                        A 
I dont need whiskey to drown out the pain 
            Bm                       G 
Or some old umbrella to hold off the rain 
             D                     A  
Dont have to cross over a river of tears 
Em                       G  
All that I need is right here 
 
CHORUS: 
        D - D9 - D        G 
Holding you     holds me together 
             D - D9 - D                     A - Asus - A 
When holding on      gets just a little to hard 
          D 
When this tight rope I travel 
Am          D           G                     E 
Begins to unravel and I feel like I'm falling apart 
        G   A          D - D9 - D 
Holding you holds me together 
 
VERSE 2: 
                         D                  A 
You know lifes a freight liner on a runaway track 
                       Bm                           G 
But I'll take the ride knowing that you'll bring me back 
                D                     A 
No fates too uncertain no distance to far 
   Em                      G 
As long as your here in my arms 
 
CHORUS: 
        D - D9 - D        G

             D - D9 - D                     A - Asus - A 
When holding on      gets just a little to hard 
          D 
When this tight rope I travel 
Am          D           G                     E 
Begins to unravel and I feel like I'm falling apart 
        G   A          D - D9 - D 
Holding you holds me together

When ever I hold you tight 
G                        D                        
This crazy world of mine falls right in place 
G            G  
Whatever the trouble is 
G                      A                           
You find a way to give back what it takes, Yeahhhh
