Ryan Hurd - Hold You Back

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]

C G Em D
C G Em D

[Verse 1]

C G
I got drunk, you got drunk
Em D
We had sex, we woke up
C G
Caught up in a thread count, tangled in skin
Em D
Now you’re checking your phone, he’s checking in

[Pre-Chorus 1]

C G
And it’s right now that I start to see it
Em D
All of the weight of the way that it is
C G
Caught between what it means to start over
Em D
And what happens over and over again, but

[Chorus]

C G
I don’t wanna hold you, I don’t wanna hold you
Em D
I don’t wanna hold you back
C G
I don’t wanna see you, I don’t wanna see you
Em D
I don’t wanna see you hurt like that
C G
You had your heart in a cage
Em D
I’ll cut you loose, baby, fly away
C G
I’m holding on to what we had
Em D
But I don’t wanna hold you, I don’t wanna hold you back

[Break]

C G Em D

[Verse 2]

C G
I get u, you get up
Em D
We get dressed, say I love you
C G
Kiss you goodbye and I finally mean it
Em D
It took until now for us both to believe it

[Pre-Chorus 2]

C G
And it’s not like we got back together
Em D
We’re just coming back to the thing that we know
C G
When you called it off, you said it’s for the better
Em D
That don’t make it easy for me to let go, baby

[Chorus]

C G
I don’t wanna hold you, I don’t wanna hold you
Em D
I don’t wanna hold you back
C G
I don’t wanna see you, I don’t wanna see you
Em D
I don’t wanna see you hurt like that
C G
You had your heart in a cage
Em D
I’ll cut you loose, baby, fly away
C G
I’m holding on to what we had
Em D
But I don’t wanna hold you, I don’t wanna hold you back

[Solo]

C G Em D
C G Em D

[Bridge]

C G
Well, call me up if you ever get lonely
Em D
Call me up if you ever want me
C G
But until then, I’m setting you free
Em D
And if you ever come back to me, baby

[Chorus]

C G
I don’t wanna hold you, I don’t wanna hold you
Em D
I don’t wanna hold you back
C G
I don’t wanna see you, I don’t wanna see you
Em D
I don’t wanna see you hurt like that
C G
You had your heart in a cage
Em D
I’ll cut you loose, baby, fly away
C G
I’m holding on to what we had
Em D
But I don’t wanna hold you, I don’t wanna hold you back
