(Brett Beavers, Dierks Bentley & Tony Martin)
Capo: 2nd Fret or scaled down a full step to E MajorE
INTRO: [D MajorD] [D MajorD]Woo [G+G]yeah, oh [G+G]
[D MajorD] By now I shoulda been broken on the rocks of rising life's ocean
[G+G] Just another ship lost at sea
[D MajorD] By now I shoulda been scattered in the wind of my lonesome travels
[G+G] Like a thousand dandelion seeds
[B minorBm] And I shoulda come un-[A augmentedA]raveled at the seams like a well worn [G+G] sweater
But you hold me to-[D MajorD]gether
[D MajorD] My hope shoulda been shattered like a bottle out behind some tavern
[G+G] From a fight that you had no chance to win
[D MajorD] My dreams shoulda been ashes gone up in smoke like a book of matches
[G+G] Tossed away and never gonna burn again
[B minorBm] And I shoulda worn right through [A augmentedA] like an old cowboy's boot [G+G] leather
But you hold me to-[D MajorD]gether
CHORUS #1:
I feel [A augmentedA]your [G+G]love surrounding me [D MajorD]
[A augmentedA]Strong e-[G+G]nough that I can believe [D MajorD]
[A augmentedA]There won't [G+G]ever be a [A augmentedA]storm that I can't [G+G]weather
'Cause you hold me to-[E minorEm]gether, ah [D MajorD]woo
To-[E minorEm]gether, yeah [D MajorD]yeah
CHORUS #2
I feel [A augmentedA]your [G+G]love surrounding me [D MajorD]
[A augmentedA]Strong e-[G+G]nough that I can believe [D MajorD]
[A augmentedA]There won't [B minorBm]ever be a [A augmentedA]storm that I can't [G+G]weather
No, there [B minorBm]never be a [A augmentedA]storm that I can't [G+G]weather
[D MajorD] I shoulda been long forgotten just a footnote down at the bottom
[G+G] Of a page in the book of what coulda been's
[B minorBm] My heart should lie in [A augmentedA]pieces on the ground like a goodbye [G+G] letter
[E minorEm] But you hold me to-[D MajorD]gether
Oh [G+G]oh, you hold me to-[D MajorD]gether, yeah [G+G]yeah
You hold me to-[E minorEm]gether, ah [D MajorD]woo
To-[E minorEm]gether, yeah [D MajorD]yeah
Oh [E minorEm]oh, you hold me, you hold me [D MajorD]
