capo : 2nd fret or scaled down a full step to E

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 #1 :
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 #2
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
