Lyrics

Sun day morn ings were your fa v’rite,

I used to (Bb)meet you down on Woods Creek (G)Road.

You did your hair up like you were fa mous,

e ven (C)though it’s on ly church where we were (F)go ing.

Now, Sun day morn ings, I just sleep in,

it’s like I’ve (Bb)bu ried my faith with you.

I’m (Bb)scream ing at a God

I don’t (G)know if I be lieve in

’cause (C)I don’t know what else I can do.

I’m still (Eb)hold ing on to ev ’ry thing that’s (Bb)dead and gone.

I don’t want to (F)say good bye ’cause this one means for ev er.

Now you’re (Eb)in the stars and six feet’s nev er (Bb)felt so far.

Here I am a (F)lone be tween the heav ens and the em bers.

Oh, it (Eb)hurts so hard

for a (F)mil lion dif f’rent rea sons.

(Eb)heart

and left the rest in (Bb)piec es.

Dig ging through your old birth day let ters,

a (Bb)crum pled twen ty still in the box.

(Bb)I don’t think that I could ev er find a way to spend it e ven (C)if it’s the last twen ty that I’ve got.

Oh, I’m still (Bb)piec es.

I’m still (D)hold ing, hold ing, (G)hold ing on.

I’m still (Bb)hold ing, hold ing, (G)hold ing on.

I’m still (Bb)hold ing, hold ing, I’m still (G)hold ing on.

I’m still, (C)ooh, still hold ing (F)on.

I’m still (Eb)hold ing on to ev ’ry thing that’s (Bb)dead and gone.

I don’t want to (F)say good bye ’cause this one means for (G)ev

Now you’re (Eb)in the stars and six feet’s nev er (Bb)felt so far.

Here I am a (F)lone be tween the heav ens and the em

Oh, it (Eb)hurts so hard
