I once held that someone special didn't have to let her go

C G7 C
It's no wonder that her love for me wasn't strong enough to last
F C
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
C F Am
If we could write a book they couldn't keep it on the shelf
C G7 C
We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left

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

We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left
