D                        A
I dont need whiskey to drown out the pain
            Bm                       G
Or some old umbrella to hold off the rain
             D                     A 
Dont have to cross over a river of tears
Em                       G 
All that I need is right here

CHORUS:

D                    G
Holding you holds me together
             D                        A    
When holding on gets just a little to hard
          D
When this tight rope I travel
Am           D           G                     E
Begins to unravel and I feel like I'm falling apart
        G   A        D  
Holding you holds me together

VERSE 2:

                         D                  A
You know life's a freight liner on a runaway track
                       Bm                           G
But I'll take the ride knowing that you'll bring me back
                D                     A
No fates too uncertain no distance to far
   Em                      G
As long as your here in my arms


CHORUS:

D                    G
Holding you holds me together
             D                        A    
When holding on gets just a little to hard
          D
When this tight rope I travel
Am            D          G                     E
Begins to unravel and I feel like I'm falling apart
        G   A        D  
Holding you holds me together

G           G
When ever I hold you tight
G                        D                       
This crazy world of mine falls right in place
G            G 
Whatever the trouble is
G                      A                          
You find a way to give back what it takes, Yeahhhh

LET IT RIDE A MEASUD :

 D      G     D       A

          D
When this tight rope I travel
Am           D           G                     Em
Begins to unravel and I feel like I'm falling apart
        G   A        D  
Holding you holds me together
        Em   A        D        G       D      A      D
Holding you holds me together
