[Intro]
E /// | B/D# / | B7 / | E /// | B/D# / | B7 / |
[Verse 1]
E
When it feels like surgery
B/D#
And it burns like third degree
C#m B A
And you wonder "what is it worth?"
E
When your inside's breaking in
B/D#
And you feel that ache again
C#m B A
And you wonder "What’s giving birth?"
[Pre-chorus]
A E B
If you could let the pain of the past go
Of your soul
A E B
None of this is in your control
[Chorus]
E
If you could only let your guard down
G#m
You could learn to trust me somehow
C#m B A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
E
If you could only let go your doubts
G#m
If you could just believe in me now
C#m B A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
E B/D# B7 E B/D# B7
I won’t let you go
[Verse 2]
E
When your fear is currency
B
And you feel that urgency
C#m B A
You want peace but there’s war in your head
E
Maybe that’s where life is born
B
When our facades are torn
C#m B A
Pain gives birth to the promise ahead
[Pre-chorus]
A E B
If you could let the pain of the past go
Of your soul
A E B
None of this is in your control
[Chorus]
E
If you could only let your guard down
G#m
You could learn to trust me somehow
C#m B A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
E
If you could only let go your doubts
G#m
If you could just believe in me now
C#m B A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
F#m B
I won’t let you go
[Ad-lib]
G#m A
I’ll always be by your side
[Chorus]
E
If you could only let your guard down
B/D#
You could learn to trust me somehow
C#m B A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
E
If you could only let go your doubts
B/D#
If you could just believe in me now
C#m B A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
E G#m
I won’t let you go (I won't let you go)
C#m B A
I won’t let you go (I won't let you go)
[Coda]
E
There ain’t no darkness strong enough
G#m
That could tear you out from my heart
C#m B
There ain’t no strength that’s strong enough
A
That could tear this love apart
E
There ain’t no darkness strong enough
G#m
That could tear you out from my heart
C#m B
There ain’t no strength that’s strong enough
A
That could tear this love apart
E G#m
Never gonna let you go
C#m B A
Never gonna let you go
E B/D# B7 E B/D# B7 E
No I won’t let you go
