           C#m      A
Can't give you space
             E                   B
'Cause I'm scared you might run away
       C#m           A
Can't quit the chase
          E                       B
'Cause I fear you might hit the brakes, wait

     C#m A
I'm sorry
 E                            B
Nothing's makin' sense right now
     C#m  A
Keep talkin'
          E                    B
When I'm nervous I can't slow down

I'm sorry
The truth is I'm freakin' out
'Cause everything I love, I lose
And I don't wanna lose you too

Chorus:
            C#m   A
Everytime I hold on
     E               B
It slips through my hands
            C#m      A
Everytime I come on too strong
   E             B
I feel you pull back
 C#m          A
I gotta learn, gotta learn to let go
E           B
Gotta learn, gotta learn
             C#m    A
Everytime I hold on
    E                B
It slips through my hands
   C#m A
I slip
     E               B
It slips through my hands

Can't get a grip
These emotions, they just won't fray
Where do I fit
In your life, in your every day? Hey

I'm sorry (Sorry)
Nothing's makin' sense right now
Keep talkin' (Talkin')
When I'm nervous, I can't slow down
I'm sorry (Sorry)
The truth is I'm freakin' out
'Cause everything I love, I lose
And I don't wanna lose you too

Chorus:
Every time I hold on
It slips through my hands
Every time I come on too strong
I feel you pull back
I gotta learn, gotta learn to let go
Gotta learn, gotta learn
Every time I hold on
It slips through my hands
I slip

            C#m    A
Everytime I hold on
     E               B
It slips through my hands
   C#m         A
I slip back to old habits
 E           B
Calling you way too much
C#m    A
Crazy, my antics
E            B
Just need you way too much
C#m     A
Back to old habits


Chorus:
Every time I hold on
It slips through my hands (Mmm)
Every time I come on too strong
I feel you pull back
I gotta learn, gotta learn to let go
Gotta learn, gotta learn
Every time I hold on (Yeah)
It slips through my hands
I slip
It slips through my hands
I slip (Mmm)
It slips through my hands
I slip
