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:
[D]Holding [G]on to [A]you
[(A)]Is a menace to my [D]soul
[G]Don't you [A]know
And [D]letting [G]go its [A]true
[(A)]Is freedom still [D]unknown
[G]So I [A]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:
[A7]White knuckled [D4]grip still you slip thru my [A2]hands
[(A2)]Leave me wanting more
[A7]Oh [D4]so you [A2]wonder
[A7]How much [D4]more can I take, [A2]how much more can I take
[A7]Before, [D4]before I go [A2]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
