Capo: 2nd Fret or scaled down a full step to E
INTRO: [ D ] [ D ]Woo [ G ]yeah, oh [ G ]
[ D ] By now I shoulda been broken on the rocks of rising life's ocean
[ G ] Just another ship lost at sea
[ D ] By now I shoulda been scattered in the wind of my lonesome travels
[ G ] Like a thousand dandelion seeds
[ Bm ] And I shoulda come un-[ A ]raveled at the seams like a well worn [ G ] sweater
But you hold me to-[ D ]gether
[ D ] My hope shoulda been shattered like a bottle out behind some tavern
[ G ] From a fight that you had no chance to win
[ D ] My dreams shoulda been ashes gone up in smoke like a book of matches
[ G ] Tossed away and never gonna burn again
[ Bm ] And I shoulda worn right through [ A ] like an old cowboy's boot [ G ] leather
But you hold me to-[ D ]gether
CHORUS #1:
I feel [ A ]your [ G ]love surrounding me [ D ]
[ A ]Strong e-[ G ]nough that I can believe [ D ]
[ A ]There won't [ G ]ever be a [ A ]storm that I can't [ G ]weather
'Cause you hold me to-[ Em ]gether, ah [ D ]woo
To-[ Em ]gether, yeah [ D ]yeah
CHORUS #2
I feel [ A ]your [ G ]love surrounding me [ D ]
[ A ]Strong e-[ G ]nough that I can believe [ D ]
[ A ]There won't [ Bm ]ever be a [ A ]storm that I can't [ G ]weather
No, there [ Bm ]never be a [ A ]storm that I can't [ G ]weather
[ D ] I shoulda been long forgotten just a footnote down at the bottom
[ G ] Of a page in the book of what coulda been's
[ Bm ] My heart should lie in [ A ]pieces on the ground like a goodbye [ G ] letter
[ Em ] But you hold me to-[ D ]gether
Oh [ G ]oh, you hold me to-[ D ]gether, yeah [ G ]yeah
You hold me to-[ Em ]gether, ah [ D ]woo
To-[ Em ]gether, yeah [ D ]yeah
Oh [ Em ]oh, you hold me, you hold me [ D ]
