Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh,[Em] the[G][Em]
[G]things we
[D]carry and [Em]hold on to
[D]Like [G]my mind's [D]picture of [Em]you
[G]Mother sin[Am]ging in the kitchen
when [Dsus4]daddy's d[D]ead, revival
Finding [Am]muddy waters and a lost highway
on the [Dsus4]road to my s[D]urvival
All [G]the memories run to[D]gether
from autumn [Em]gold to summer [G]blue
With the [Am]things we carry an
[D]d hold on to[C][G][D]
Oh the [G]things we [D]carry and [Em]can't let go
[D]The [G]cruelties of life
[D]I wish I d[Em]idn't know
[F]Wha[G]t a lif[Am]e is worth
and [D]just what freedom costs
And [Am]how much dying hurts
And [Dsus4]living with that lo[D]ss
As [G]the angel wings [D]beat
And the [Em]cold winds blow
[D]For[G] the thi[Am]ngs we car[Dsus4]ry
Can[D]'t let [C]go[G][D]
[Em]We are f[D]athe[G]rs, we are mothe[Am]rs
We are sis[G]ters, we are [C]brothers
These are [Dsus4]the things [D]that we [Em]carry
And [Asus4]hold on t[A]o[D]
[C]Hold on to [G]me, [Am]baby [D]I'll hold on
[C]Hold on to [G]me, [Am]baby
And [D]I'll hold on [C]to you[G]
[D][C][G][D][Em][C]
[G][D]
Oh, [G]things I [D]carry and [Em]hold on to
[D]My [G]mind's whi[D]spered of you[Em][G]
Mu[Am]sic of your voice, like [D]a perfect violin
Play [Am]soft upon my heart,
till [D]I see you again
[G]Song runs like [D]a river,
[Em]brings me back to [D]you
With the [Am]things I [D]carry
Hold on to [C]me[G][D]
[Em]We a[D]re fathe[G]rs, we are mothe[Am]rs
We are [G]sisters, we are [C]brothers
These are [D]the things [G]that we [Em]carry
[Am]Hold on to
[D]Hold [C]on to me [G]bab[Am]y, I'l[G]l hold on
[C]Hold on to [G]me [Am]baby, [G]I'll hold on
[C]Hold on to [G]me [Am]baby,
[D]I'll hold on [C]to [G]you[D][D]
All [G]the things we [D]carry and [Em]hold on to
[G]Like my mind's [D]picture of you
