by James Arthur

Lyrics & chords · Original key

[Intro]

G D Em C

[Verse 1]

I met you in the dark

You lit me up

You made me feel as though

I was enough

We danced the night away

We drank too much

I held your hair back when

You were throwing up

[Pre-Chorus]

Then you smiled over your shoulder

For a minute, I was stone cold sober

Em C

I pulled you closer to my chest

And you asked me to stay over

I said, I already told ya

Em C

I think that you should get some rest

[Chorus]

I knew I loved you then

But you'd never know

Cause I played it cool when I was

Scared of letting go

I know I needed you

But I never showed

But I wanna stay with you

Until we're grey and old

G D

Just say you won't let go

Em C

Just say you won't let go

[Verse 2]

I wake you up with some

Breakfast in bed

I'll bring you coffee with

a kiss on your head

And I'll take the kids to school

Wave them goodbye

And I'll thank my lucky stars

for that night

[Pre-Chorus]

When you looked over your shoulder

For a minute, I forget that I'm older

Em C

I wanna dance with you right now, oh

And you look as beautiful as ever

And I swear that everyday you'll get better

Em C

You make me feel this way somehow

[Chorus]

I'm so in love with you

And I hope you know

Darling your love is more than

Worth its weight in gold

We've come so far my dear

Look how we've grown

And I wanna stay with you

Until we're grey and old

G D

Just say you won't let go

Em C

Just say you won't let go

[Verse 3]

I wanna live with you

Even when we're ghosts

Cause you were always there for me

When I needed you most

[Chorus]

I'm gonna love you till

My lungs give out

I promise till death we part

Like in our vows

So I wrote this song for you

Now everybody knows

That it's just you and me

Until we're grey and old

[Outro]

G D

Just say you won't let go

Em C

Just say you won't let go

G D

Just say you won't let go

Em C

Oh, just say you won't let go
