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 The years we had were not all bad In fact I know the good outweighed the bad And now you say that you've grown tired You want to be by yourself a while But it would be a shame if you should go And find that freedom was a long time ago 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 But could you go far enough to get away from your heart? So, one more time, for ol' times sake Come and lay your head upon my chest Please don't throw this moment away We can forget the bad and take the best But if you don't have nothing else to say Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake D E A E/G# But if you don't have nothing else to say Bm E A Amaj7 A Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA Am A Amaj7 A7 C# D E Em E7 Em7 F#m G# Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
