[Verse 1]
E B7
She fakes the highs and she counts the lows
E B7
Then she walks right out the door
E B7
I wasn’t early, she just came too slow
E B7
But I will be back for more
E B7
We would never throw this love away
E B7
Why would someone throw this love away?
[Verse 2]
E B7
I never met a girl like her before
E B7
Though I’d seen her in my dreams
E B7
I never thought a love could be so pure
E B7
But then, love’s never what it seems
E B7
We would never throw this love away
E B7
Why would someone throw this love away?
E B7
When things went wrong we kept a’hanging on;
E
Couldn’t throw it all away
[Chorus]
B
Stranglehold!
E B
You’re holding on to what is to unfold
E
Without you
B
Stranglehold!
E B
The heat is on, but it’s getting cold
E
Without her
G#m F#
As we fuss and we fight through the motions of life
E G
An uphill battle cannot be won
B A Abm B
Stranglehold!
[Verse 3]
E B7
Now silence speaks, I can’t hear your call
E B7
I can’t taste your lips no more
E B7
We stumble blindly and trip and fall
E B7
I can’t feel you anymore
E B7
We would never throw this love away
E B7
Why would someone throw this all away?
E B7
When things went wrong we kept a’hanging on;
E
Couldn’t throw it all away
[Chorus]
B
Stranglehold!
E B
You’re holding on to what is to unfold
E
Without you
B
Stranglehold!
E B
The heat is on, but it’s getting cold
E
Without her
G#m F#
As we fuss and we fight through the motions of life
E G
An uphill battle cannot be won
B A Abm B
Stranglehold!
[Bridge]
C#m F# C#m
There was a time our love was tight
F#
Oh what a night
C#m F# C#m
Music would flow, our love would grow
F#
And never die
B A Abm B
Stranglehold!
[Chorus]
B
Stranglehold!
E
You’re holding on to
B E
Holding on to
B
Stranglehold!
E
You’re holding on to
B E
Holding on to
B
Stranglehold!
E
You’re holding on to
B E
Holding on to
