verse 1 
Dm                       Bb 
 Sitting on the edge of another day 
                      C 
Waiting on the sun to rise 
                       Am              Bb 
All I can hear are the thoughts you're thinking 
Dm              C         Bb 
 Making up with all of my enemies 
                  C 
Memories I don't like 
                            Am         Bb 
I'm tired of the feeling of your heart breaking 

Pre-Chorus 
Dm 
 You will live for me 
C 
 Helping me get through 
Bb                   C 
 All my failures, my glories 
I owe them all to you 
Dm 
 You've been holding on 
C 
 For the both of us 
Bb                     C 
 You have always been strong 
                       F 
When I'm never strong enough 

               C 
My greatest mistake 
                         Dm 
Is that I never let it show 
         C       Bb 
These feelings I feel 
                    F 
But God I hope you know 
           C 
How much I love you 
                        Dm 
I'm never gonna let you go 
C       Bb 
Let you go, hey

verse 2 
Dm                            Bb 
 You picked me up when I was down 
                             C 
When I was lost you came and found me 
Dm                         Bb 
 You took the pieces of my heart 
                          C 
When they had all broken apart 

Pre-Chorus 
Dm 
 You were there for me 
C 
 Helping me get through 
Bb                   C 
 All my failures, my glories 
I owe them all to you 
Dm 
 You've been holding on 
C 
 For the both of us 
Bb                     C 
 You have always been strong

When I'm never strong enough 
 
               C 
My greatest mistake 
                         Dm 
Is that I never let it show 
         C       Bb 
These feelings I feel 
                    F 
But God I hope you know

How much I love you

It's just me and you   ooooh 
Dm                             Am

I'm never gonna let you go

Let you go
