CHORUS
CAPO: 1st FRET  
A5       E5      A5
HOLDING THINGS TOGETHER
              A5       D5
Ain't no easy thing to do
                         A5
When it comes to raisin' children
                       E5
It's a job - meant for two
A5     E5         A5
Alice please be-lieve me
           A5     D5
I can't go on and on
               A5       E5
Holding things together 
         A5
With you gone.
          E5       A5
Today was Angie's birthday
           A5           D5
I guess it slipped your mind
                 A5
I tried twice to call you
                     E5
But no answer either time
        A5       E5         A5
But the postman brought a present
              A5   D5
I mailed some days ago
                           A5
I just signed it love from mama
   E5              A5
So Angie wouldn't know.

CHORUS

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