[Verse]
  Am7              Bm7
I need you love in every way
  Am7                   Gmaj7
I need your strength to make me great
  Am7
I've been so wrong
         Bm7      Dsus4    D
Am I too late?

[Chorus]
                                  Am7     D
Just hold me like Johnny Cash
               Gmaj7
When I lost my mother
               Am7      D
Whisper in my ear
               Gmaj7    G7
Just like June Carter
    C        D           G      D/F#      Em
And though I fight these tears that I hide
    Am7      D           C    G/B Am7   G
Just hold me tight for the rest of my life

[Verse]
  Am7               Bm7
I need your mind to understand
  Am7               Gmaj7
I need your soul, it makes me a better man
  Am7
With you by my side
    Bm7             Dsus4       D
I'd have a chance

[Chorus]
                                Am7      D
Just hold me like Johnny Cash
               Gmaj7
When I lost my mother
               Am7      D
Whisper in my ear
               Gmaj7    G7
Just like June Carter
    C        D           G      D/F#      Em
And though I fight these tears that I hide
    Am7      D           C    G/B Am7   G
Just hold me tight for the rest of my life
