  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      F#m       A                   D  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  
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
