[Verse 1]
C            F
Don't let me go
Cadd9                    F
It's a terrible world to be all alone
C            F
Don't let me fall
Cadd9               F
I don't get back up well on my own

[Refrain]
Am   G    F
Own, own, own-oh-oh-oh-oh
Am   G    F
Own, own, own-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
C*                F*              Cadd9  F
Promise me you'll always be my love
C                  F                      Cadd9  F
You won't tear me down when my bones grow cold
         C                 F               Cadd9  F
With our hands in the dirt years down the road
     Am                      G               F
I'll lie with you, won't you lie with me, my love
      Am               G             F
Don't let me go, don't let me go, my love

[Verse 2]
C            F
Don't let me drown
              Cadd9             F
'Cause it's a long, long way to go, my friend
    C                   F
And all of my pain will try to weigh me down
       Am   G    F
In the end, end, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Am   G    F
End, end, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh


[Verse 3]
C               F
So please carry me when I'm weary
    Cadd9              F
And I will tend to you when you are tired
               C
Because you're bound to me
    F
And I am bound to you


[Refrain]
Am   G    F
You, you, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Am   G    F
You, you, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh


[Chorus]
    C                 F            Cadd9  F
And promise me you'll always be my love
          C            F                  Cadd9  F
You won't tear me down when my bones grow cold
         C                 F              Cadd9  F
With our hands in the dirt years down the road
     Am                      G               F
I'll lie with you, won't you lie with me, my love
      Am               G             F
Don't let me go, don't let me go, my love


[Verse 3]
N.C. (clapping)
Soon when we rise
To the pearl gates, waiting hand in hand
In Saint Peter's eyes
Ask us: are we ready to go?


[Refrain]
Am  G   F
Go, go, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Am  G   F
Go, go, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
C                 F            Cadd9  F
Promise me you'll always be my love
          C            F                  Cadd9  F
You won't tear me down when my bones grow cold
         C                 F              Cadd9  F
With our hands in the dirt years down the road
     Am                      G               F
I'll lie with you, won't you lie with me, my love
      Am               G             F
Don't let me go, don't let me go, my love
