[Verse 1]
G
 Won't you hold me through the shakes,
darling?
             C                 G
Well, it's fine if you cut and run
          Em                  C
At first light of the cresting sun
                      G
But right now I'm fiending
And 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 bleeding
                               C            G
This city is so loud and the hotel kicked me out
         Em                   C
Do you think that she's still proud looking down?
G
 The world got so confusing,
       C             G
I'm a tool for cheap amusement
          Em              C
And they all hate me from here to Tennessee

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

[Verse 2]
         C             G
All my nights and dark cold trouble
              Em                   C
When I was through I was hoping You
                G
might wait for me
They made me out to be
           C           G
Something I don't understand
     Em          C              G
How I  am just a man, my darling

[Bridge]
G
Now I'm lost in Denver
           C                G
With a postcard I could send you
     Em              C              G
But I  don't know of any good it'd do
So I'll 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
Hold me through the shakes,
               G
although it's more than I can take
           Em              D/F#             G
There ain't  no choice for damaged boys like me
                    C
Hold me through the shakes,
               G
although it's more than you can take
      Em
And when you wake,
       D/F#           G
you'll still be my darling
    C              D
When you wake, I'm yours to take,
   G
darling

 Well, hold me through the shakes,
               G
although it's more than I can take
           Em              D/F#           G
There ain't  no choice for damaged boys like me
                    C
Hold me through the shakes,

although it's more than you can take

you'll still be my darling

When  you wake, I'm yours to take,
