Ab
  There's been a lot of talk of love
Ab
  But that don't amount to nothing
Ab
  You can evoke the stars above
Ab
  But that doesn't make it something

[Chorus]
           Ab/C       Db   Eb
  And the only way to last
Ab         Ab/C       Db      Eb
  And the only way to live it
Ab      Ab/C              Db      Eb
  Is to hold on when you get love
Ab      Ab/C          Db     Eb  Ab
  And let go when you give it... give it

[Verse]
            Ab/C     Db   Eb
  It's a pretty melody
Ab           Ab/C               Db         Eb
  It might help you through the night time
Ab          Ab/C         Db    Eb
  But it doesn't make it easy
Ab             Ab/C         Db          Eb
  To leave the party at the right time

[Chorus]
Ab         Ab/C              Db   Eb
  If I'm frightened, if I'm high
Ab          Ab/C             Db       Eb
  It's my weakness please forgive it
Ab           Ab/C           Db       Eb
  At least I hold on when I get love
Ab        Ab/C        Db         Eb         Ab
  And I let go when I give it... give it... give it

  And always hold on when you get love
Ab           Ab/C             Db       Eb
  So you can let go when you give it
