VERSE 1: 
 
D I ONCE HELD THAT SOMEONE SPECIAL G DIDNT HAVE TO LET IT D GO 
 
I JUST STOOD BACK AND WATCHED MY FUTURE A PAST 
 
AND FOR THE D AWFUL SHAPE IM IN I CAN G ONLY BLAME Bm MYSELF 
 
ITS NO D WONDER THAT HER LOVE FOR ME WASNT A STRONG ENOUGH TO D LAST 

 

[Refrão]
HOLDING G ON FOR ALL ITS WORTH TO ALL THAT WEVE GOT D LEFT 
 
AND FOR WHAT ITS WORTH WEVE BEEN LESS THAN EASY ON A OURSELF 
 
IF D WE COULD WRITE A BOOK THEY COULDNT G KEEP IT ON THE Bm SHELF 
 
WERE JUST D TRYING TO GET IT RIGHT WITH A ALL THAT WE GOT D LEFT 
 
 
VERSE 2: 
 
D I WAS THERE WHEN THE BAR ROOM OPENED IVE G BEEN THERE AT CLOSING D TIME 
 
THERE WERE THINGS I COULDNT HANDLE BY A MYSELF 
 
THEN THE D RIGHT ONE PICKED ME UP AND WE G LEFT IT ALL Bm BEHIND 
 
SHE SAID D IM ALL SHE'LL EVER NEED FOR ME A THERES NO ONE D ELSE
