riff and it plays untill the Chorus:

Then it goes back into the verse. ( "Well you say that I changed, well maybe i did")
the verse just reapeats what it did before way up there^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When Stephan Starts sayin "I'll Never Let You Go" the guitar 2 riff starts again.

D---------------------------------------|
A--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7---------|

     e--3             e--3           e--2-|
     B--3            B--3          B--3---|
     G----           G---           G--2--|

LYRICS!!!

Never Let You Go

There's every good reason for letting you go
She's sneaky and smoked out
And it's starting to show
I never let you go

I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other

You say that I've changed
Well maybe I did
But even if I changed
What's wrong with it
I never let you go

I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other

And our friends are gone and gone
And all the time moves on and on
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
If there's a reason, it's lost on me
Maybe we'll be friends, I guess we'll see
I never let you go

I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other

I remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets and the beads
Nickels and dimes, yours and mine, did you cash in all your dreams
You don't dream for me, no
You don't dream for me, no
But I still feel you pulse like sonar from the days in the waves
That girl is like a sunburn
I would like to save
The girl is like a sunburn
I would like to save
She's like a sunburn
