[Intro]
[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
