Verse 1: 
F5             C5  
You shouldn't wade out in deep water 
         G5 
when you don't know how to swim 
   G5 
He told you it was over  
           C5 
and like a fool you followed him 
                 G5    A5  G5 
into a whirlpool of emotion 
F5            C5        D5 
spinnin' out of control 
     G5                                 C5 
It's killin' you, but you won't let him go 
 

                      F5 
Let go of the stone      
                         C5 
if you don't wanna drown 
              G5         G5 
in the sea of heartache  
                    C5    
that's draggin' you down 
                 F5 
It's pulling you under 
                     C5 
and you keep hangin' on 
                  G5 
If I'm ever gonna save you 
              C5  
Let go of the stone  
 
Verse 2: 
Oh don't you realize the danger 
and the hurt you're headed for 
Put your arms around me 
and swim with me to shore 
Just let go of that ol' mem'ry 
I know it's hard to do 
But I'll be here 
holding on to you 
 
Chorus:
