Verse 1:
F C
You shouldn't wade out in deep water
G
when you don't know how to swim
G7
He told you it was over
C
and like a fool you followed him
G7/B Am G
into a whirlpool of emotion
F C/E Dm
spinnin' out of control
G7 C
It's killin' you, but you won't let him go
F
Let go of the stone
C
if you don't wanna drown
G G7
in the sea of heartache
C
that's draggin' you down
F
It's pulling you under
C
and you keep hangin' on
G
If I'm ever gonna save you
C
Let go of the stone
Verse 2:
Oh don't you realize the danger
and the hurt you're headed for
Put your arms around me
and swim with me to shore
Just let go of that ol' mem'ry
I know it's hard to do
But I'll be here
holding on to you
Chorus:
Howard
