CHORUS
CAPO: 1st FRET  
A       E      A
HOLDING THINGS TOGETHER
              A7       D
Ain't no easy thing to do
                         A
When it comes to raisin' children
                       E
It's a job - meant for two
A     E         A
Alice please be-lieve me
           A7     D
I can't go on and on
               A       E
Holding things together 
         A
With you gone.
          E       A
Today was Angie's birthday
           A7           D
I guess it slipped your mind
                 A
I tried twice to call you
                     E
But no answer either time
        A       E         A
But the postman brought a present
              A7   D
I mailed some days ago
                           A
I just signed it love from mama
   E              A
So Angie wouldn't know.

CHORUS

Alice please believe me
I can't go on and on
Holding things together
With you gone.
