I once held that someone special didn't have to let her go

                                        G7
I just stood back and watched my future pass

            C                  F                Am
And for the awful shape I'm in I can only blame myself

        C                           G7                      C
It's no wonder that her love for me wasn't strong enough to last


        F                                       C
Holding on for all its worth to all that we got left

                                                     G7
And for what it's worth we've been less than easy on ourselves

   C                          F                       Am
If we could write a book they couldn't keep it on the shelf

      C                                G7                 C
We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left


                                     F                          C
I was there when the bar room opened I've been there at closing time

                                       G7
There were things I couldn't handle by myself

         C                          F              Am
Then the right one picked me up and we left it all behind

    C                                 G7                    C
She said I'm all she'll ever need and for me there's no one else


        F                                       C
Holding on for all its worth to all that we got left

                                                     G7
And for what it's worth we've been less than easy on ourselves

   C                          F                       Am
If we could write a book they couldn't keep it on the shelf

      C                                G7                 C
We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left
