can’t let go of her now
[Intro] E
[Verse 1]
(E)
She's made her mark on me
C#m
She's scarred my memory
E A#/C# B
Made shallow wounds in the depth of night
E
And give up my liberty
C#m
That's what she wants from me
E A#/C# B
Well I guess I'd care but it feels al-------right
[Chorus]
(B) A
And if I lose my grip
C#m
I won't make it anyhow
A E
So I can't let go of her now
[Verse 2]
(E)
She makes my common sense
C#m
Come out like self defense
E A#/C# B
She breaks my patience like a match
E
And when I snap in half
C#m
She'll be the first to laugh
E A#/C# B
If I'm a base hit she's the catch
[Chorus]
A
And if I lose my grip
C#m
I won't make it anyhow
A E
So I can't let go of her now
[Middle 8]
B C#m
Just don't tell her I would die
A B
If I let her slip away
G# C#m
Let her think I'm resigned
A B C#m
Like those drying clothes just hang on to the line
[Instrumental] (C#m) A E B C#m A
[Verse 3]
(A) E
She's made her mark on me
C#m
Those little lines you can see
E B
They're written through me like a poem
E
She makes a mockery
C#m
Of all I hold life to be
E B
But in the end I come back home
[Chorus]
A
And if I lose my grip
C#m
I won't make it anyhow
A C#m
So I can't let go of her now
A
And not to lose my grip
C#m
That's my vow
A E
So I can't let go of her now
