capo: 1st fret
[verse (1)]
Em
we’re not on the rocks
D
we’re on the fucking edge of a cliff
G
and i’m not gonna lie
C
Sometimes when we talk
It’s like trying to read hieroglyphs
G
i’m tired of screaming and crying
D
Caught in the throes of this storm
Em
The lines on your face look worn
How did we get so torn?
D
“are you happy?” you ask and i know what you’re
G
Asking is if we should call it quits
D
i don’t have the answers at all
G
And all i know what to say in response is
‘N.C’
I don’t want to give up on this
[chorus (1)]
Em D C
But don’t you let me me go
Em D C
Don’t you let me me go
[verse (2)]
Em
i got drunk again, didn’t i?
D
fuck, you’re mad and i don’t know why
C
what did i say or do wrong this time?
was i so out of the line you can’t leave it behind?
Em D
no, you’re right i’m sorry, fuck, can we start over?
C
Do it again when i’m sober? take it slower?
Em
Here, baby come closer
D
No, don’t walk away, stay, i won’t get angry again, hey
C
I don’t deserve to be treated this way
D
A couple of drinks after a shit day is normal
Yeah i got sloppy, who cares
Maybe i’d drink less if you were there
C
It’s not fair
Even when you’re here you’re somewhere else
I’m just looking for help
Cause even with you i feel like i’m all by myself
[chorus (2)]
Em D C G
But don’t you let me me go
Em D C G
Don’t you let me me go
Em
Cause i’m not ready to lose
D C G
What we have baby at all, oh
Em D C G
Don’t you let me me go
[verse (3)]
Em
changed your mind on a dime
D
Thought you said you would actually try
G
Gave up and ran off without a goodbye
C
Merry christmas, have a nice life
G
no, we can’t ever be friends
D Em
i thought you were my fucking person
D
Don’t tell me how much it hurts you to break me
This whole time you’ve been faking
C
Said when we got real you won’t leave
You’d stand by me, didn’t wanna be
D
a coward like your dad
But you should envy your old man
C
He fears the world cause he loves what he has
You’re so afraid of love it doesn’t stand a chance
[chorus (2)]
Em D C G
But don’t you let me me go
Em D C G
Don’t you let me me go
Em
Cause i’m not ready to lose
D C G
What we have baby at all, oh
Em D C
Don’t you let me me go
