Darling

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
