[Verse]
Ab
There's been a lot of talk of love
Ab
But that don't amount to nothing
Ab
You can evoke the stars above
Ab
But that doesn't make it something
[Chorus]
Ab/C Db Eb
And the only way to last
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
And the only way to live it
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
Is to hold on when you get love
Ab Ab/C Db Eb Ab
And let go when you give it... give it
[Instrumental]
Ab/C Db Eb Ab (x4)
[Verse]
Ab/C Db Eb
It's a pretty melody
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
It might help you through the night time
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
But it doesn't make it easy
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
To leave the party at the right time
[Chorus]
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
If I'm frightened, if I'm high
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
It's my weakness please forgive it
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
At least I hold on when I get love
Ab Ab/C Db Eb Ab
And I let go when I give it... give it... give it
[Post-Chorus]

The world won't listen to this song
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
And the radio won't play it

But if you like it sing along
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
Sing cause you don't know how to say it
[Chorus]
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
Take the weakest thing in you
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
And then beat the bastards with it
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
And always hold on when you get love
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
So you can let go when you give it

Take the weakest thing in you
Ab Ab/C Db Eb
And then beat the bastards with it

So you can let go when you give it... give it... give it
