G
this is the longest winter
Em
that anyone can remember
C G
we shut ourselves inside our separate rooms
G
all of the locks are frozen
Em
the windows they won’t open
C D
when april comes we won’t know what to do
C D
don’t wanna give myself away
G C
don’t wanna make the same mistake
C D
and if you want to know the truth
G Em
don’t want to love you but i do
C
so now you know
C D G
something just won’t let me let you go
G
we keep our words protected
Em
aware of their sharp edges
C G
we hold them gently like we’ve been cut before
G
silences are telling
Em
the ice is slowly melting
C D
but i’m still afraid to show up at your door
C D
don’t wanna give myself away
G C
don’t wanna make the same mistake
C D
and if you want to know the truth
G Em
don’t want to love you but i do
C
so now you know
C D G
something just won’t let me let you go
C D
don’t wanna give yourself away
G C
don’t wanna make the same mistake
C D
if you can spare a little truth
G Em
and if you love me, say you do
C
I need to know
C D G
'cause i'm about to let you let me go
C D G (let ring)
oh, but i don't want to let you let me go
