Capo: 2nd Fret or scaled down a full step to E
INTRO: [ D5 ] [ D5 ]Woo [ G5 ]yeah, oh [ G5 ]
[ D5 ] By now I shoulda been broken on the rocks of rising life's ocean
[ G5 ] Just another ship lost at sea
[ D5 ] By now I shoulda been scattered in the wind of my lonesome travels
[ G5 ] Like a thousand dandelion seeds
[ B5 ] And I shoulda come un-[ A5 ]raveled at the seams like a well worn [ G5 ] sweater
But you hold me to-[ D5 ]gether
[ D5 ] My hope shoulda been shattered like a bottle out behind some tavern
[ G5 ] From a fight that you had no chance to win
[ D5 ] My dreams shoulda been ashes gone up in smoke like a book of matches
[ G5 ] Tossed away and never gonna burn again
[ B5 ] And I shoulda worn right through [ A5 ] like an old cowboy's boot [ G5 ] leather
But you hold me to-[ D5 ]gether
CHORUS #1:
I feel [ A5 ]your [ G5 ]love surrounding me [ D5 ]
[ A5 ]Strong e-[ G5 ]nough that I can believe [ D5 ]
[ A5 ]There won't [ G5 ]ever be a [ A5 ]storm that I can't [ G5 ]weather
'Cause you hold me to-[ E5 ]gether, ah [ D5 ]woo
To-[ E5 ]gether, yeah [ D5 ]yeah
CHORUS #2
I feel [ A5 ]your [ G5 ]love surrounding me [ D5 ]
[ A5 ]Strong e-[ G5 ]nough that I can believe [ D5 ]
[ A5 ]There won't [ B5 ]ever be a [ A5 ]storm that I can't [ G5 ]weather
No, there [ B5 ]never be a [ A5 ]storm that I can't [ G5 ]weather
[ D5 ] I shoulda been long forgotten just a footnote down at the bottom
[ G5 ] Of a page in the book of what coulda been's
[ B5 ] My heart should lie in [ A5 ]pieces on the ground like a goodbye [ G5 ] letter
[ E5 ] But you hold me to-[ D5 ]gether
Oh [ G5 ]oh, you hold me to-[ D5 ]gether, yeah [ G5 ]yeah
You hold me to-[ E5 ]gether, ah [ D5 ]woo
To-[ E5 ]gether, yeah [ D5 ]yeah
Oh [ E5 ]oh, you hold me, you hold me [ D5 ]
To-[ E5 ]gether, oh [ D5 ]oh
