Intro  E   Asus2  




E                                        Asus2       
    Bite my tongue, you wouldn't hear me anyway  

E                                                Asus2 
    Hold my nerve, while I wait for the fires to fade 



Bm                                        Asus2                               E 
    I'm seeing every single word you don't say but I feel like I've seen it all 


Bm                                    Asus2                     E 
    How come every time you ask me to stay, you're halfway gone?  


                        Asus2                         C#m 
If this is the easy way out, then why am I finding it hard as hell 

               Bm          Asus2             E 
I'm Wide awake waiting for sleep to steal my doubt 

                           Asus2                               C#m 
And everything we had that hurts has come back to haunt us but ten times worse 

               Bm          Asus2 
I'm holding on so tight it hurts 

                          E  
So why are we holding on?  


*turnaround is the same as intro, with the E from the end of the Chorus followed by the Asus2*  



E                                      Asus2 
   Close my eyes, am I slowly slipping away 

E                                                     Asus2 
   If I bide my time I'll get lost like a tear in the rain 

Bm                                    Asus2               E 
    How come every time you ask me to stay you're halfway gone?  


                        Asus2                         C#m 
If this is the easy way out, then why am I finding it hard as hell 

               Bm          Asus2             E  
I'm wide awake waiting for sleep to steal my doubt 

                           Asus2                               C#m 
And everything we had that hurts has come back to haunt us but ten times worse 

               Bm          Asus2 
I'm holding on so tight it hurts 

                          E 
So why are we holding on?  




Why are we holding on? x4  



Repeat Chorus  


(last line of the song in the last Chorus)

Why I can't let you go
