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?
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jennifer_knapp/letting_go_crd.html ]
CHORUS:
D G A
Holding on to you
(A) D
Is a menace to my soul
G A
Don't you know
D G A
And letting go its true
(A) D
Is freedom still unknown
G A
So I 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 D4 A2
White knuckled grip still you slip thru my hands
(A2)
Leave me wanting more
A7 D4 A2
Oh so you wonder
A7 D4 A2
How much more can I take, how much more can I take
A7 D4 A2
Before, before I go 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
