INTRO: RIFF 1, RIFF 2
VERSE 1: RIFF 1 (REPEAT 4 TIMES)
Time passes by
Think about you every day
And why? I can't explain
You already broke my back
Why am I the one still hoping
(that) we can remain?
CHORUS:
DGA
Holding on to you
(A) D
Is a menace to my soul
GA
Don't you know
DGA
And letting go its true
(A) D
Is freedom still unknown
GA
So I hold- I'm not letting go
RIFF 1, RIFF 2
VERSE 2: RIFF 1 (REPEAT 4 TIMES)
Do you think that giving up
Shows the courage you'd hope to put up
Why cant you stay?
All being fair in love and war
Why do you have to leave me here
to drift away?
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
A7D4A2
White knuckled grip still you slip thru my hands
(A2)
Leave me wanting more
A7D4A2
Oh so you wonder
A7D4A2
How much more can I take, how much more can I take
A7D4A2
Before, before I go under
A7, D4, A2
VERSE 3: RIFF 1 (REPEAT 2 TIMES)
Kiss me on the mouth
Maybe later you can figure out
What it all means
REPEAT CHORUS
OUTRO: (REPEAT 3 TIMES)
RIFF 1
I'm not letting go
