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:
DHolding Gon to Ayou
(A)               D  
Is a menace to my soul
GDon't you Aknow
And Dletting Ggo its Atrue
(A)              D  
Is freedom still unknown
GSo I Ahold- 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:
A7White knuckled D4grip still you slip thru my A2hands
(A2)
Leave me wanting more
A7Oh D4so you A2wonder
A7How much D4more can I take, A2how much more can I take
A7Before, D4before I go A2under
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
