[Verse]
[Am]You were sitting in your bed.
You're [Em]grinning from ear to ear.
I can s[F]mell the evening, somethings seem pleasing to [C]you, only you.
I was w[Dm]aiting up for you,
But w[C]orried about you.[Em]
I p[F]ut them to bed, they missed their dad.
Just w[C]here in Hell were you.
The f[Am]irst step is always truth.
Thats my f[Em]irst suggestion to you.
I can [F]do my best if you'd get some rest.
Then you t[C]ell me just what you do.
I want to h[Dm]elp you.
I want to b[C]ring you back to life,
but your s[F]ad sick brain knows one damn thing.
And god it co[C]mes out every night.
[Chorus]
[Dm] [C]
Don't let me go----------.
[F] [C]
Don't let me go----------.
[Verse]
Your c[Am]hoices, they're hard to make.
You make this h[Em]arder everyday.
I'm s[F]ure I'm leaving, no more deceiving,
or fu[C]mbling for words to say.
I gave you ev[Dm]erything I had.
I lo[C]ved you till the death.
That he[F]arts going to beat, you're able to breathe,
but su[C]rely you're dead to me.
Those sh[Am]ivers and shakes your body makes
aren't g[G]oing to go away.
Thats the p[F]rice you pay for the games you've played.
[C]Nothings going to change.
I can't [Dm]help you.
I can't br[C]ing you back to life.
You can fi[F]nd your help from someone else
who's th[C]ere and who has the time.[C]
[Chorus]
[Dm] [C]
Don't let me go----------.
[F] [C]
Don't let me go----------.
[Dm] [C]
You don't let me go----------.
[F] [C]
Don't let me go----------.

(This whole verse is played in single notes on the A string. The number corresponds to the fret.
Let every note ring.)
[3]You try to get d[/7]ressed and you put your [5]shoes on.[3]
Lets get to the car and lets make this r[2]ight.[3]
The drive is sh[/7]ort, but it sure feels lo[5]ng.[3]
Thats just how it is when you're leaving ho[2]me.[3]
This isn't the e[/7]nd of your li[5]fe.[3]
It's more like a pause and soon a st[5]art.[2][3]
You'll be back on your f[/7]eet again in no ti[5]me.[3]
If you're not with me then to Hell, I'm n[5]ot fin[2]e.

[F]I tried convin[A]cing God to ch[G]ange you.
[F]We had it o[A]ut and he said [G]no.
[F]He said "a choice is a ch[A]oice" then he said you m[G]ade it.[Em]
[F]He'd help you alo[Am]ng but God why is [G]nothing free?
[F]You filled me [Am]up with hope God I've u[G]sed it.
[F]I've used it a[Am]ll on you can't you s[G]ee it?
[F]There comes a t[Am]ime when you choose for [G]another.[Em]
