C    G                      C     G
Oh, baby, this time it's a goodbye
C                 G                C     G
  And you can be sure that I won't cry
Dm7                    G
    Our love is just a faded story
Dm7                      G
    I'm walking down the road
Dm7                     C      G
    And you just got to let me go

[Chorus]
       F  C          G    F
'Cause, I can't hold on
  C          G    F
I can't hold on
  C          G     C
I can't hold on anymore

[Verse]
      C       G                C     G
There was once that sweet lullaby
C                    G              C     G
  And were all those promises just lies
Dm7                    G
    Well, I was just a fool to love you
Dm7                G
    I knew it all along
Dm7                      C        G
    I can't look down, I know I'm falling

[Chorus]
F         C          G    F
'Cause, I can't hold on
  C          G    F
I can't hold on
  C          G     C
I can't hold on anymore

[Bridge]
         Dm7             G
When you act the way you do
        C      G/B C
I wanna scream and shout
    Dm7       G        C
You keep on a-playing games
  Am
I walk around the block
      F                  C       G
And I think maybe you'll change
    Dm7          G                  C   G/B    C
But just when it seems we've got it all worked out
Dm7       G       C
You start naming names
Em                      D                Gsus4   G
   I don't believe that I was the one to blame

[Verse]
    C    G           C          G
And maybe next time you'll cry
C                   G           C     G
  When someone like me says goodbye
Dm7                           G
    You'll wake up when she's gone and wonder
Dm7                       G
    How you could let her go
Dm7                     C     G
    But look at me, I'm going under

[Chorus]
F         C          G    F
'Cause, I can't hold on
  C          G    F
I can't hold on
  C          G     C              F
I can't hold on anymore, no more

  C          G    F
I can't hold on
  C          G    F
I can't hold on
  C          G     C
I can't hold on anymore
