Intro: G (2x)

G
Hold me tight 
      D
But just for tonight 
            Em
But not as tight as before 
                 C
We're not that close anymore 
            G
At least not in that way 
               D
We've drifted further apart with each day 
             Em
We have waited it out just to see 
             C
If we could love one another casually 
    Am               C          G D
But I've been a good friend to you 
Am               C           G
I've always been there for you 
      G
You say you don't know 
              D
Where did the people use to be go 
            Em
You say you don't understand 
                       C
Whatever made me let go of your hand 
              G
But you never asked me to stay 
       D
If you wanted me to, you did not say 
        Em
Now for old times' sake 
             C
Go ahead and repeat that mistake 
          Am        C       G D 
Cause the moment is passed now 
             Am           C        G 
I've stopped counting the days somehow 

Em - C - Em - C - G - G
(uhh uhhh uhhh)
  
       G
Let it be what it is 
                    D
Though we never intended for it to turn into this 
   Em
We had something good that did not last 
                C
Let's not be constantly reliving the past 
         G
I have nothing but love for you 
                       D          
Though you've often questioned how that could be true 
          Em
Well you better start believing me 
        C
If you wish to set yourself free 
          Am                 C                   G  D
From this long and drawn out process of letting go 
      Am           C                        G
This grief and regret has kept your spirit low

G - G/F# - F - C (6x)
