Let Me Go Chords

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
