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   
We’ll heat this ground and dance 
                  G
like two hearts bleedin’
G                            C   
This city is so loud and the 
            G
hotel kicked me out
       Em                 C       
Do you think she is still proud of
         G
 lookin’ down
G                                
The world got so confusin’ I’m a 
C              G
tool for cheap amusement
     Em               C     
They all hate me from here to 
            G
Tennessee

[Chorus]
                    C              
Hold me through the shakes, 
       G
although it’s more than I can take
      Em                  C/G     
There ain’t no choice for damaged 
         G
boys like me
                    C              
Hold me through the shakes, 
      G
although its more than you can take
    Em                   D        
And when you wake you’ll still be 
   G
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 
When I was through I was hopin’ 
                 G
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        
And pray for you until I untangle 
     G
this blue

[Chorus]
                    C              
Hold me through the shakes, 
       G
although it’s more than I can take
      Em                  C/G     
There ain’t no choice for damaged 
         G
boys like me
                    C              
Hold me through the shakes, 
      G
although its more than you can take
    Em                   D        
And when you wake you’ll still be 
   G
my darling
Em            D             G
When you wake I’m yours to take 
darling

[Chorus]
                    C              
Hold me through the shakes, 
       G
although it’s more than I can take
      Em                  C/G     
There ain’t no choice for damaged 
         G
boys like me
                    C              
Hold me through the shakes, 
      G
although its more than you can take
    Em                   D        
And when you wake you’ll still be 
   G
my darling
    Em                   D        
And when you wake you’ll still be 
   G
my darling

[Chorus]
                    C              
Hold me through the shakes, 
       G
although it’s more than I can take
      Em                  C/G     
There ain’t no choice for damaged 
         G
boys like me
                    C              
Hold me through the shakes, 
      G
although its more than you can take
    Em                   D        
And when you wake you’ll still be 
   G
my darling
    Em                   D        
And when you wake you’ll still be 
   G
my darling
