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