CFC
I once held that someone special didn't have to let her go
G7
I just stood back and watched my future pass
CFAm
And for the awful shape I'm in I can only blame myself
CG7C
It's no wonder that her love for me wasn't strong enough to last
FC
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
CFAm
If we could write a book they couldn't keep it on the shelf
CG7C
We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left
FC
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
CFAm
Then the right one picked me up and we left it all behind
CG7C
She said I'm all she'll ever need and for me there's no one else
FC
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
CFAm
If we could write a book they couldn't keep it on the shelf
CG7C
We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left
G7C
We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left
