Intro:

E /// | B/D# / | B7 / | E /// | B/D# / | B7 / |


Verse 1:
                   E
When it feels like surgery
                  B/D#
And it burns like third degree
          C#m     B          A
And you wonder "what is it worth?"
                   E
When your inside's breaking in
                  B/D#
And you feel that ache again
          C#m     B             A
And you wonder "What’s giving birth?"

Pre-chorus:
A                     E                 B
 If you could let the pain of the past go

Of your soul
A                E            B
 None of this is in your control


Chorus:
                  E
If you could only let your guard down
                   G#m
You could learn to trust me somehow
    C#m           B            A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
                  E
If you could only let go your doubts
                    G#m
If you could just believe in me now
    C#m           B            A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
                 E   B/D#   B7     E   B/D#   B7
I won’t let you go


Verse 2:
                  E
When your fear is currency
                  B
And you feel that urgency
           C#m              B            A
You want peace but there’s war in your head
                   E
Maybe that’s where life is born
           B
When our facades are torn
           C#m            B        A
Pain gives birth to the promise ahead


Pre-chorus:
A                     E                 B
 If you could let the pain of the past go

Of your soul
A                E            B
 None of this is in your control


Chorus:
                  E
If you could only let your guard down
                   G#m
You could learn to trust me somehow
    C#m           B            A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
                  E
If you could only let go your doubts
                    G#m
If you could just believe in me now
    C#m           B            A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
                 F#m   B
I won’t let you go


Ad-lib:
G#m                        A
   I’ll always be by your side


Chorus:
                  E
If you could only let your guard down
                   B/D#
You could learn to trust me somehow
    C#m           B            A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
                  E
If you could only let go your doubts
                    B/D#
If you could just believe in me now
    C#m           B            A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
                 E                   G#m
I won’t let you go (I won't let you go)
                 C#m     B           A
I won’t let you go (I won't let you go)


Coda:
      E
There ain’t no darkness strong enough
            G#m
That could tear you out from my heart
      C#m                      B
There ain’t no strength that’s strong enough
           A
That could tear this love apart

      E
There ain’t no darkness strong enough
            G#m
That could tear you out from my heart
      C#m                      B
There ain’t no strength that’s strong enough
           A
That could tear this love apart
                     E    G#m
Never gonna let you go
                     C#m   B   A
Never gonna let you go
                    E   B/D#   B7     E   B/D#   B7   E
