G       D7     G
Holding Things Together
              G7       C
Ain't no easy thing to do
                         G
When it comes to raising children
                      D7
It's a job  meant for two
G     D7       G
Alice please believe me
           G7     C
I can't go on and on
               G        D7
Holding things together
         G
With you gone
          D7      G
Today was Angie's birthday
           G7           C
I guess it slipped your mind
                 G
I tried twice to call you
                     D7
But no answer either time
        G       D7        G
But the postman brought a present
         G7        C
I mailed some days ago
                           G
I just signed it love from mama
   D7             G
So Angie wouldn't know
G       D7     G
Holding Things Together
              G7       C
Ain't no easy thing to do
                         G
When it comes to raising children
                      D7
It's a job  meant for two
G     D7       G
Alice please believe me
           G7     C
I can't go on and on
               G        D7
Holding things together
         G
With you gone
