Intro: C Am Em

Dm                     Am      G
  Well youre the closest thing I have
                 F
To bring up in a conversation
Em        G               C
  About a love that didnt last
Dm                  Am       G
  But I could never call you mine
                    F
Cause I could never call myself yours
Em       G                       C
  And if we were really meant to be
Am                     F
  Well then we justify destiny
    Em                E
Its not that our love died
     F            G
Just never really bloomed

     C
Well I cant let go
    Am               Em
No, I cant let go of you
      G                                   C
Youre holding me back without even trying to.
I cant let go
  Am                   F
I cant move on from the past
        G
Without lifting a finger youre holding me back.

Bridge: ( C Am Em )

Dm                    Am      G
  And then we saw our paths diverge
                   F
And I guess I felt OK about it.
Em          G                C
  Until you got with another man,
Am                   F
  And then I couldnt understand
                     Em
Why it bothered me so.
             E
How we didnt die we just 
F           G           C
Never had a chance to grow.

I cant let go
    Am               Em
No, I cant let go of you
      G                                   C
Youre holding me back without even trying to.
I cant let go
  Am                    F
I cant move on from the past.
        G
Without lifting a finger youre holding me back.

Dm
  And it might not make much sense
Em
  To you or any of my friends
       F
Though somehow still you affect the 
G
Things I do.
Dm                                 Em
  And you cant lose what you never had
I dont understand why I feel sad
F                               G
  Every time I see you out with someone new.

Bridge: ( C Am Em )

C
I cant let go
    Am
No, I cant let go                     
    Em
No, I cant let go of you.

Chorus: ( C Am Em G )
        ( C Am F G )

I cant let go
No, I cant let go of you
Youre holding me back without even trying to.
I cant let go
I cant move on from the past
Without lifting a finger youre holding me back.

I cant let go
No, I cant let go of you
Youre holding me back without even trying to.
I cant let go
I cant move on from the past
