G  Em C  G


[Verse 1]

G             Em    
Baby we could rent this house
      C                 G
Put a fan on the window sill
G                  Em         C         G
Cause I don't wanna hear that whippoorwill
G                    Em           C               G
Or maybe this is our sentence for all the time we killed
G                   Em        C         G
Cause i don't wanna hear that whippoorwill


[Chorus]

G                        Em
I'm gonna lose you either way
          C               G
I'm gonna lose you either way
   G      D  C     G           D  C     G
If I hold on tightly, Or I let go lightly

G  Em C  G


[Verse 2]

G                  Em             C              G
Now baby, when you say my name it almost sounds absurd
G             Em        C         G
I don't wanna hear that mockingbird
G                    Em               C            G
You don't whisper it sweet you say it like a curse word
G             Em        C         G
I don't wanna hear that mockingbird


[Chorus]

G                        Em
I'm gonna lose you either way
          C               G
I'm gonna lose you either way
   G      D  C     G           D  C     G
If I hold on tightly, Or I let go lightly

G  Em C  G


[Verse 3]

G               Em             C           G
There must be a number and a corresponding house
G                      Em          C             G
Baby, when the door is closed the windows let it out
G                Em               C            G
And she comes by begging for one sweet, lonely sin
G                      Em          C            G
But the door, it opens out so you can't kick it in
G                        Em              C              G
And her father sweet old man he is comes by to lend a hand
G                   Em                C          G
Darlin', i told you all along i only partly understand
G                Em                 C          G
And she comes by begging for that lonely sin again saying
G                  Em           C              G
"You'd rather be a liar than an honest, lonely man"


[Chorus]

G                        Em
I'm gonna lose you either way
          C               G
I'm gonna lose you either way
   G      D  C     G           D  C     G
If I hold on tightly, Or I let go lightly
   G      D  C     G           D  C     G
If I hold on tightly, Or I let go lightly
