[Verse 1]
G
Won’t you hold me through the shakes darlin’?
C G
It’s fine if you cut and run
Em C
At first light of a cresting sun
G
Right now I’m feenin’
G
If you’re still in town
C G
When my better days roll around
Em C G
We’ll heat this ground and dance like two hearts bleedin’
G C G
This city is so loud and the hotel kicked me out
Em C G
Do you think she is still proud of lookin’ down
G C G
The world got so confusin’ I’m a tool for cheap amusement
Em C G
They all hate me from here to Tennessee

[Chorus]
C G
Hold me through the shakes, although it’s more than I can take
Em C/G G
There ain’t no choice for damaged boys like me
C G
Hold me through the shakes, although its more than you can take
Em D G
And when you wake you’ll still be my darling
N.C.
When you wake you’ll still be my darling

[Verse 2]
G
Let me have my bloody knuckles
C G
All my nights and dark cold trouble
Em C G
When I was through I was hopin’ you might wait for me
G
They made me out to be
C G
Something I don’t understand
Em C G
How I am just a man, my darling
G
Now I’m lost in Denver
C G
With a postcard I could send ya
Em C G
But I don’t know of any good it’d do
G
Photograph the lights
C G
‘Cause they remind me of your eyes
Em C G
And pray for you until I untangle this blue

[Chorus]
C G
Hold me through the shakes, although it’s more than I can take
Em C/G G
There ain’t no choice for damaged boys like me
C G
Hold me through the shakes, although its more than you can take
Em D G
And when you wake you’ll still be my darling
Em D G
When you wake I’m yours to take darling

[Chorus]
C G
Hold me through the shakes, although it’s more than I can take
Em C/G G
There ain’t no choice for damaged boys like me
C G
Hold me through the shakes, although its more than you can take
Em D G
And when you wake you’ll still be my darling
Em D G
And when you wake you’ll still be my darling

[Chorus]
C G
Hold me through the shakes, although it’s more than I can take
Em C/G G
There ain’t no choice for damaged boys like me
C G
Hold me through the shakes, although its more than you can take
Em D G
And when you wake you’ll still be my darling
Em D G
And when you wake you’ll still be my darling
