Intro:
F Dm Am C


Verse 1:
Gm                         F
Well you're the closet thing
   C                     Bb
I have to bring up in a conversation,
Am                         F
About a love that didn't last
Gm                 F         C
But I would never call you mine,
                      Bb
'Cause I would never call myself yours
Am                              F
And if we were really meant to be
Dm                               Bb
Well we then we just defied our destiny
Am                       C
It's not that our loved died,
         Bb             C
It just never really bloomed


chorus:
F
Well I can't let go
    Dm                 Am
No, I can't let go of you
         C
You're holding me back

Without even trying to
F              Dm                        Bb
I can't let go I can't move on from the past
         Am
Without lifting a finger
        C
You're holding me back...


F Dm Bb


Verse 2:
Gm                    F      C
And then we saw our paths diverge
                    Bb          Am
And I guess I felt OK about it
                            F
Until you got with another man,
Dm                         Bb
And then I couldn't understand
                    Am
Why it bothered me so
                 
Our love didn't die, we just
Gm             C
Never got a chance to grow


chorus:
F
Well I can't let go
    Dm                 Am
No, I can't let go of you
         C
You're holding me back

Without even trying to
F              Dm                        Bb
I can't let go I can't move on from the past
         Am
Without lifting a finger
        C
You're holding me back...


bridge:
Bb
And it may not make much sense
Am
To you or any of your friends
         Gm                            C
Though somehow you still affect the things I do
Bb                                 Am
And you can't loose what you never had
                                  Gm
I don't understand why I feel so sad
                               C
Everytime I see you out with someone new

hook:
F

Am                     C

F
Well I can't let go
    Dm                 Am
No, I can't let go of you
         C
You're holding me back

Without even trying to
F              Dm                        Bb
I can't let go I can't move on from the past
         Am
Without lifting a finger
        C
You're holding me back...

Well I can't let go

You're holding me back

Without even trying to
F              Dm                        Bb
I can't let go I can't move on from the past

Am Bb
Oooh
