A HOLDING E THINGS A TOGETHER
Ain't no easy A7 thing to D do
When it comes to raisin' A children
It's a job - meant for E two
A Alice E please be- A lieve me
I can't go A7 on and D on
Holding things A together E
With you A gone.
Today was E Angie's A birthday
I guess it A7 slipped your D mind
I tried twice to A call you
But no answer either E time
But the A postman E brought a A present
I mailed some A7 days D ago
I just signed it love from A mama
So E Angie wouldn't A know.
CHORUS
Alice please believe me
I can't go on and on
Holding things together
With you gone.
