[Intro]
G D Em C
[Verse 1]
G
I met you in the dark
D
You lit me up
Em
You made me feel as though
C
I was enough
G
We danced the night away
D
We drank too much
Em
I held your hair back when
C
You were throwing up
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Then you smiled over your shoulder
D
For a minute, I was stone cold sober
Em C
I pulled you closer to my chest
G
And you asked me to stay over
D
I said, I already told ya
Em C
I think that you should get some rest
[Chorus]
G
I knew I loved you then
D
But you'd never know
Em
Cause I played it cool when I was
C
Scared of letting go
G
I know I needed you
D
But I never showed
Em
But I wanna stay with you
C
Until we're grey and old
G D
Just say you won't let go
Em C
Just say you won't let go
[Verse 2]
G
I wake you up with some
D
Breakfast in bed
Em
I'll bring you coffee with a
C
kiss on your head
G
And I'll take the kids to school
D
Wave them goodbye
Em
And I'll thank my lucky stars for
C
That night
[Pre-Chorus]
G
When you looked over your shoulder
D
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
Em C
I wanna dance with you right now, oh
G
And you look as beautiful as ever
D
And I swear that everyday you'll get better
Em C
You make me feel this way somehow
[Chorus]
G
I'm so in love with you
D
And I hope you know
Em
Darling your love is more than worth its
C
Weight in gold
G
We've come so far my dear

Look how we've grown

And I wanna stay with you

Until we're grey and old

Just say you won't let go
Em C
Just say you won't let go
[Verse 3]
G
I wanna live with you
D
Even when we're ghosts
Em
Cause you were always there for me
C
When I needed you most
[Chorus]
G
I'm gonna love you till
D
My lungs give out
Em
I promise till death we part
C
Like in our vows
G
So I wrote this song for you
D
Now everybody knows
Em
That it's just you and me
C
Until we're grey and old
[Outro]

Oh, just say you won't let go
