F7             Bb      
Holding things together
      Bb7     Eb         
Ain't no easy thing to do
                         Bb

F                 Bb       F
Today was Angie's birthday ■
Bb                      Eb  
I guess it slipped your mind
                 Bb      
I tried twice to call you
                     F    F7
But no answer either time ■ 
        Bb      F         Bb     
But the postman brought a present
                   Eb 
I mailed some days ago
                           Bb  
I just signed it love from mama
F                 Bb  
So Angie wouldn't know


[Chorus]
F7             Bb      
Holding things together
