[F] He ra[C]ised his hand[Dm]
For the l[C]ast time she could st[F]and
And the r[C]oom was a g[Dm]rave that n[C]ight
[F] She l[C]eft a note[Dm], it said "I[C]'m not coming h[F]ome"
It took c[C]ourage, but s[Dm]he took fl[C]ight
[Am] And what are you re[C]ally holding o[F]nto?[G]
[Am] Life is a t[C]ightrope, and you're b[F]urning, burning, b[G]urning both ends

But don't [Am]let the gr[C]ound dr[F]ag you aro[G]und

[F] She s[C]old the car[Dm] for $11[C]00 bucks[F]
And a b[C]ottle of so[Dm]mething sweet[C]

And g[C]ot off when sh[Dm]e felt free[C]
[Am] And what are you re[C]ally holding o[F]nto?[G]
