Can’t let go
E - A - E ~ ~
E
1. Told you, baby, one more time,
E
don't
make me sit all alone and cry,
B7 A E
well,
it's over, I know it, but I can't let go.
E
I'm like a fish out of water,
a cat in a tree,
E
you
don't even want to talk to me,
B7
A E
well,
it's over, I know it, but I can't let go.
E
He won't take me back when I come around,
E
says he's sorry, then he pulls me
out.
A
I got a big chain around my neck,
E
and I'm broken down like a train
wreck,
B7
A E
well, it's over, I know it, but I
can't let go.
E
2. See, I got a candle and it burns so bright
E
in my
window every night,
B7
A E
well,
it's over, I know it, but I can't let go.
E
You don't like to see me standing around,
E
feel
like I been shot and didn't fall down,
B7 A E
well,
it's over, I know it, but I can't let go.
+ CHORUS
+ instrumental = CHORUS (2x)
E
3. Turn off the trouble like you turn off a light,
E
went
off and left me, and it just ain't right,
B7 A E
well,
it's over, I know it, but I can't let go.
E
Around every corner, something
I see,
E
brings
me right back how it used to be,
B7 A E
well,
it's over, I know it, but I can't let go.
E
He won't take me back when I come around,
E
says he's sorry, then he pulls me
out.
A
I got a big chain around my neck,
E
and I'm broken down like a train
wreck,
B7 A E
well, it's over, I know it, but I
can't let go.
+ repeat CHORUS
B7 A E
+ And it's over, I know
it, but I can't let go !
B7 A E
And it's over, I know it, but
I can't let go !
+ B7 - A - E (2x) + E …..
