[Intro] E E/D# D D/C# [Verse 1]
E              E/D#       D                  D/C#
You see it all around you - good lovin' gone bad.

E                E/D#                  D            D/C#
And usually it's too late when you realize what you had.

C                                 D
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago, who told me,

E             E/D#    D              A         D/C# D E
"Just hold on loosely, but don't let go.

E                E/D#    D                     A
If you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control.

F#m             B
Your baby needs someone to believe in

F#m                A
And a whole lot of space to breathe in."
[Verse 2]
E            E/D#           D            D/C#
It's so damn easy when your feelings are such

E         E/D#     D                D/C#
To overprotect her, to love her too much.

C                                 D
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago, who told me,

E             E/D#    D              A         D/C# D E
"Just hold on loosely, but don't let go.

E                E/D#        D                     A
If you cling too tight, babe, you're gonna lose control.

F#m             B
Your baby needs someone to believe in

F#m                A
And a whole lot of space to breathe in."

in    her   way.
[Verse 3]
E              E/D#       D                  D/C#

If you cling too tight babe, you're gonna lose it

                        A
You're gonna    lose control.
