[Verse]
                      B  
You see it all around you
D           A    C#m E
Good lovin' gone bad ■
                     E            
And usually it's too late when you
D                C#m
Realize what you had


[Chorus]
C                                    
And my mind goes back to a girl I met
D                         
Some years ago who told me
E            B       D         A     
Just hold on loosely but don't let go

D                  A        E
When your feelings are such ■
   B               D

To love her too much
