Dierks Bentley - You Hold Me Together

From "Feel That Fire" (2009)
(Brett Beavers, Dierks Bentley & Tony Martin)

Capo: 2nd Fret

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

Oh [G]oh, you hold me to-[D]gether, yeah [G]yeah
You hold me to-[Em]gether, ah [D]woo
To-[Em]gether, yeah [D]yeah
Oh [Em]oh, you hold me, you hold me [D]
To-[Em]gether, oh [D]oh
