Love Keep Us Together Chords by Martin Sexton

_ I got into a whole lot of trouble when I was 19 with my first love, my first girlfriend.
_ [E] This song is about that troubled time, getting out of high school and _ dealing with all [D] that. _
[D] It's called Love Keep Us Together. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ Hold me tight, say your good name And I'll let you [Dm] know that [G] I care
_ _ [D] Stay a little longer, don't let me be And I'll comfort you from the storm
_ [G] _ [D] It's been a long night, tomorrow's another day
Call me when you find [G] out the answer
[D] And I'm hoping I'll pray to a firework
That will keep me from going [G] insane
[A] In the meantime, _ teenage lovers [G] caught up in this dance
_ Gains the price of this young [C] romance
_ [Em] How was I [G] such a young fool to know
_ Lord knows I got no direction [F] from home, baby
[C] So I say this prayer
[G] Take hold [F#] of me, bless it, bless [F] it be
Love keep us [D] together
_ _ _ _ Take hold of me, bless it, [F] bless it be
Love keep [G] us together
_ Down [D] with the rain came the news
That our wild ways gonna bring [G] us a baby [A] boy
_ _ [D] Wash away all those innocent dreams
[D] As the whole world [G] turns upside down on [B] me
Oh feel that [D] breeze
From the power they say
Is [Dm] gonna keep me from going [D] insane
I [E] don't think so, child
[C] I can't be strong as [G] I'm by your side
_ [C] My weakness [G] tells me to run [C] for the hills
_ _ Responsibility [G] beckons me
_ To [F] think I dreamed that [G] your kiss would [C] set me free, baby
_ When I've never been so wrong
Take hold [D] of me, [F#] bless it, bless [F] it be
Love keep us [D] together _ _
_ [G] Take hold [D] of me, bless it, bless [Dm] it be
Love keep [G] us together _ _
_ [D] Because a child's too deep in the night
He needs a father, somebody to [Dm] set things right
I'm the one to love, to [D] hold him tight
To discount my love, a serious oversight
Higher power has brought us together right now
She [Dm] will keep us together wherever we go
Even if I live a thousand [G] miles away
My love is pure and [E] strong
And it's here Just wait
[D] Uh-huh, _ uh [Dm]-huh, yeah
_ [G] _ _ Together, motherfucker and Jay-J
_ Uh-huh, _ I [Dm] know one day
[D] We'll be together, me and you, child Hold on
_ Uh-huh, _ [Dm] uh-huh, yeah
[G] Uh-huh, baby
So little baby, won't you hold on _
Cause I'll [Dm] be there by [G] your side
Till I got a husband free
_ Hold on _
[Dm] _ _ _ [E] Together
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ _ _ _ Yeah _ _
