G           C 
Holding You makes me forget the things that I'm 
G              C 
supposed to do. Get up and go to work but I 
G          C                             G           C 
always do. I should've stayed when I was holding you. 
G             C 
Getting tired but just one word from you and I 
G              C 
feel inspired. Opened me up to all of life's 
G              C 
grand desires. I should've stayed while I was being admired. 
G       C 
Holding you is all I'm thing about 
G       C 
Holding you, don't feel like going out 
G       C                           Am                            D 
Holding you, I think I'll just stay here with you a little while 
A little while... 

G            C 
Leaving you makes me appreciate the things 
G               C 
you say and do. Get up with me so early 
G              C                               G            C 
I always knew I should have stayed while I was holding you. 
G             C 
From goodbye, all day I'm gone the time 
G                    C 
is just crawling by. Can't wait to hold you close 
G                  C                            G           C 
let feelings fly. I'll always stay when you are by my side. 

Am                   D 
Feel you pull me low, you know I've got to go 
    G 
But I don't really need to know 
     C 
what I'd be missing if I didn't show. 
Am                    D 
Got to leave you now, if I could find how to 
G 
go without this feeling, baby 
C 
Hold me now just one more time today 
Am   D 
      So I stay... 

G           C 
Holding you makes me forget the things that I'm 
G               C 
supposed to do. Get up and go to work but I 
G          C                                G            C 
always do. I should have stayed while I was holding you. 

G sounds good to end on, but you can finish however you please.
