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)
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)
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)
To-(Em)gether, oh (D)oh -----
