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
                               Em
Asking is if we should call it quits
D
  i don’t have the answers at all
                                       Em
And all i know what to say in response is
N.C.
I don’t want to give up on this


[Chorus]
              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]
              Em     D  C   G
But don’t you let me go
          Em     D  C   G
Don’t you let 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]
              Em     D  C   G
But don’t you let me me go
 D         Em     D  C   G
Don’t you let me me go
D             Em
Cause i’m not ready to lose
     D               C     G
What we have baby at all, oh
D          Em     D  C   G D C
Don’t you let me me go
