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

Holding on to you

 Is a menace to my soul

Don't you know

 And letting go its true

 Is freedom still unknown

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

White knuckled grip still you slip thru my hands

 Leave me wanting more

Oh so you wonder

How much more can I take, how much more can I take

Before, before I go under

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
