[Verse]

  A                Amaj7
Before you go walk out on me
Em7          A7            D
Take a look around tell me what you see
A                    Amaj7
Here I stand like an open book
Em7                A7                  D
Is there something here you might have overlooked?
       D             E                   A
'Cause it would be a shame if you should leave
              Bm                 E                    A
And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be


[Verse]

    A                 Amaj7
The years we had were not all bad
   Em7             A7                  D
In fact I know the good outweighed the bad
    A                Amaj7
And now you say that you've grown tired
    Em7        A7            D
You want to be by yourself a while
    D             E                   A
But it would be a shame if you should go
              Bm            E          A
And find that freedom was a long time ago


[Middle 8]

  D                   E                   A
I know that you can't stand the chains to bind you
    Bm7               E           A
But they just keep on drivin' us apart
    D                  E             A
And you could go where I could never find you
              E/G#    F#m      A/C#               D/E     E7  ( E9 
But could you go far enough to get away from your heart?
E E7 )

[Verse]

    A                  Amaj7
So, one more time, for ol' times sake
Em7               A7           D
Come and lay your head upon my chest
A                       Amaj7
Please don't throw this moment away
Em7               A7               D
We can forget the bad and take the best
    D                 E               A    E/G#
But if you don't have nothing else to say
       Bm                E                 [ A ]
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake

Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
