I nev er (A)meant to be the one to let you down.

If an y thing, I thought I saw (A)my self go ing first.

how to see (A)an y bod y but me be (B)get ting hurt.

I (A)keep re mem ber ing the sum mer night

and the con ver sa tion (A)break ing up the mood.

I (A)did n’t want to tell you you were right,

like the sea son chang ing; oh, I felt it, (B)too.

Does (E)an y bod y know

how to hold my heart,

how to hold my heart,

’cause I don’t want to let go, let go, let go too soon.

I (E)want to tell you so

be fore the sun goes dark,

how to hold my heart,

’cause I don’t want to let go, let go, let go of you.

I’m (A)not the kind to try to tell you (E)lies,

but the truth is you’ve been (A)hid ing from it, (E)too.

I see the end (A)sneak ing in be hind your eyes,

say ing things (A)no words could (B)ev er do.

Does go, let go, let go of you.

’cause I don’t want to let go, let go, let go too soon.
