[Intro]
Bm F#m E
[Verse 1]
BmShe said, "Are you okay?"
F#mAnd I'm staring into space
EIt's making her nervous cause one thing is certain
I don't Ehave my head on straight
BmWe're trying to get through each week
F#mOn two or three hours of sleep
EI say to be patient
That Ewe're going to make it
I have to admit that I'm struggDling
[Pre-Chorus]
DThey say take it slow
F#mBut the world keeps spinning
And that I don't controEl
F#mAnd so there I go
ETrying to act normal
ESo they won't know that
[Chorus]
BmI'm just trying to F#mhold my shit toEgether
ToEgether, darling
BmI'm just trying to F#mhold my shit toEgether
ToEgether, darling
[Verse 2]
BmThey say that they sympathize
F#mI'm grateful they take the time
EBut bringing it up at this six year old birthday
It kinda Efucks up my vibe
BmWe end on an awkward note
F#mI make the most awkward joke
EToo dark to be funny
I Eshouldn't have come, it'd be weird to go home
And I'm struggDling
[Pre-Chorus]
DThey say take it slow
F#mBut the world keeps spinning
And that I don't controEl
F#mAnd so there I go
ETrying to act normal
ESo they won't know
[Chorus]
BmI'm just trying to F#mhold my shit toEgether
ToEgether, darling

ToEgether, darling

F#m

[Intro]

Bm F#m E

[Verse 1]

She said, "Are you okay?"

F#m

And I'm staring into space

It's making her nervous cause one thing is certain

I don't have my head on straight

We're trying to get through each week

F#m

On two or three hours of sleep

I say to be patient

That we're going to make it

I have to admit that I'm struggling

[Pre-Chorus]

They say take it slow

F#m

But the world keeps spinning

And that I don't control

F#m

And so there I go

Trying to act normal

So they won't know that

[Chorus]

Bm F#m E

I'm just trying to hold my shit together

Together, darling

Bm F#m E

I'm just trying to hold my shit together

Together, darling

[Verse 2]

They say that they sympathize

F#m

I'm grateful they take the time

But bringing it up at this six year old birthday

It kinda fucks up my vibe

We end on an awkward note

F#m

I make the most awkward joke

Too dark to be funny

I shouldn't have come, it'd be weird to go home

And I'm struggling

[Pre-Chorus]

They say take it slow

F#m

But the world keeps spinning

And that I don't control

F#m

And so there I go

Trying to act normal

So they won't know

[Chorus]

Bm F#m E

I'm just trying to hold my shit together

Together, darling

Bm F#m E

I'm just trying to hold my shit together

Together, darling

[Bridge]

D F#m E

Oh, I don't know what else to try

Pretend I'm in control

Bm F#m E

But, I'm just trying to hold my shit together

Together darling

Bm F#m E

[Chorus]

Bm F#m E

I'm just trying to hold my - together

Together darling

Bm F#m E

I'm just trying to hold my shit together

Together darling

[Outro]

D F#m E

Oh, I don't know what else to try

Pretend I'm in control

Bm F#m E

But, I'm just trying to hold my shit together

Together darling

Ending

Bm F#m E
