Intro: C Am Em 

Dm                     Am      G 
  Well youre the closest thing I have 
                 F 
To bring up in a conversation 
Em        G               C 
  About a love that didnt last 
Dm                  Am       G 
  But I could never call you mine 
                    F 
Cause I could never call myself yours 
Em       G                       C 
  And if we were really meant to be 
Am                     F 
  Well then we justify destiny 
    Em                E 
Its not that our love died 
     F            G 
Just never really bloomed 

     C 
Well I cant let go 
    Am               Em 
No, I cant let go of you 
      G                                   C 
Youre holding me back without even trying to. 
I cant let go 
  Am                   F 
I cant move on from the past 
        G 
Without lifting a finger youre holding me back. 

Bridge: ( C Am Em ) 

Dm                    Am      G 
  And then we saw our paths diverge 
                   F 
And I guess I felt OK about it. 
Em          G                C 
  Until you got with another man, 
Am                   F 
  And then I couldnt understand 
                     Em 
Why it bothered me so. 
             E 
How we didnt die we just  
F           G           C 
Never had a chance to grow. 

I cant let go 
    Am               Em 
No, I cant let go of you 
      G                                   C 
Youre holding me back without even trying to. 
I cant let go 
  Am                    F 
I cant move on from the past. 
        G 
Without lifting a finger youre holding me back. 

Dm 
  And it might not make much sense 
Em 
  To you or any of my friends 
       F 
Though somehow still you affect the  
G 
Things I do. 
Dm                                 Em 
  And you cant lose what you never had 
I dont understand why I feel sad 
F                               G 
  Every time I see you out with someone new. 

Bridge: ( C Am Em ) 

C 
I cant let go 
    Am 
No, I cant let go                      
    Em 
No, I cant let go of you. 

Chorus: ( C Am Em G ) 
        ( C Am F G ) 

I cant let go 
No, I cant let go of you 
Youre holding me back without even trying to. 
I cant let go 
I cant move on from the past 
Without lifting a finger youre holding me back. 

I cant let go 
No, I cant let go of you 
Youre holding me back without even trying to. 
I cant let go 
I cant move on from the past
