Chords: Capo 5

[Verse 1]

Em  C
you said
      G                  D
you'd never leave or forsake me
     Em  C
when you said,
     G            D
this life is gonna shake me
Em  C
you said
      G                    D             C
this world is gonna bring trouble on my soul
       D
this i know

[Chorus]
     D                Em
when everything falls apart
     C            G
your arms hold me together
     D                Em
when everything falls apart
                C             G
you're the only hope for this heart
     D                Em
when everything falls apart
       C
and my strength is gone
G          D          C
i find you mighty and strong
                 D
you keep holding on
                 Em
you keep holding on

[Verse 2]
Em     C
when i see
     G            D
the darkness all around me
Em     C
when i see
      G          D
that tragedy has found me
Em       C
i still believe
      G                 D            C
your faithful arms will never let me go
            D
and still i know

[Chorus]
     D                Em
when everything falls apart
     C            G
your arms hold me together
     D                Em
when everything falls apart
                C             G
you're the only hope for this heart
     D                Em
when everything falls apart
       C
and my strength is gone
G          D          C
i find you mighty and strong
                 D
you keep holding on
                 Em
you keep holding on

[Bridge]
C          D            Em
sorrow may last for the night
            C
but hope is rising with the sun
    D
its rising with the sun
C             D              Em
there will be storms in this life
           C
but i know you will overcome
D
you will overcome

[Chorus]
     D                Em
when everything falls apart
     C            G
your arms hold me together
     D                Em
when everything falls apart
                C             G
you're the only hope for this heart
     D                Em
when everything falls apart
       C
and my strength is gone
G          D          C
i find you mighty and strong
                 D
you keep holding on
                 Em
you keep holding on
