[Intro]
E5 B/D# D5 A/C# B5 A5 E5
E5 B/D# D5 A/C#
B5 A5 E5

[Verse 1]
E5               B/D#      D5
  You see it all around you
                A/C#   E5
Good loving gone    bad
            B/D#                  D5
And usually it's too late when you
                 A/C#
Realize what you had 

[Pre-Chorus]
C5
  And my mind goes back
                D5
To a girl I left  some years ago
Who told me

[Chorus]
E5             B/D#
  Just hold on loosely,
D5              A/C# D5
  but don't let go
E5                 B/D#
  If you cling too tightly
D5                     A/C#
  You're gonna lose control
F#5                B5
   Your baby needs someone to believe in
F#5                   A5
   And a whole lot of space to breathe in

[Verse 2]
E5        B/D# D5
  So damn easy
                      A/C#    E5
When your feelings are    such
          B/D#    D5
To overprotect her
               A/C#
To love her too    much

[Pre-Chorus]
C5
  And my mind goes back
                D5
To a girl I left  some years ago
Who told me

[Chorus]
E5             B/D#
  Just hold on loosely,
D5              A/C# D5
  but don't let go
E5                 B/D#
  If you cling too tightly
D5                     A/C#
  You're gonna lose control
F#5                B5
   Your baby needs someone to believe in
F#5                   A5
   And a whole lot of space to breathe in

[Bridge]
G/D                    D
   Don't let her slip away
                G/D
Sentimental fool
                        D          A5 A#5
Don't let your heart get in the way
B5
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
E5               B/D#      D5
  You see it all around you
                A/C#   E5
Good loving gone    bad
            B/D#                  D5
And usually it's too late when you
                 A/C# D5
Realize what you had 

[Chorus]
E5           B/D#    D5              A/C# D5
  So hold on loosely,  but don't let go  
E5                 B/D#
  If you cling too tightly
D5                     A/C#
  You're gonna lose control
F#5                B5
   Your baby needs someone to believe in
F#5                   A5
   And a whole lot of space to breathe in
E5           B/D#    D5              A/C# D5
  So hold on loosely,  but don't let go  
E5                 B/D#
  If you cling too tightly
D5                    A/C#
  You're gonna lose it
                     E5
You're gonna lose control
