Capo: 2nd Fret or scaled down a full step to E
INTRO: D
D G G
Woo yeah, oh
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 A G D
And I shoulda come unraveled at the seams like a well worn sweater
But you hold me together
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 A G
And I shoulda worn right through like an old cowboy's boot leather
D
But you hold me together
CHORUS #1:
A G D
I feel your love surrounding me
A G D
Strong enough that I can believe
A G A G
There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather
Em D
'Cause you hold me together, ah woo
Em D
Together, yeah yeah
CHORUS #2
A G D
I feel your love surrounding me
A G D
Strong enough that I can believe
A Bm A G
There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather
Bm A G
No, there never be a storm that I can't 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 A G
My heart should lie in pieces on the ground like a goodbye letter
Em
But you hold me together
G D G
Oh oh, you hold me together, yeah yeah
En D
You hold me together, ah woo
En D
Together, yeah yeah
En D
Oh oh, you hold me, you hold me
En D
Together, oh oh
