[Intro]
G Em C G
[Verse 1]
G Em
Baby we could rent this house
C G
Put a fan on the window sill
G Em C G
Cause I don't wanna hear that whippoorwill
G Em C G
Or maybe this is our sentence for all the time we killed
G Em C G
Cause i don't wanna hear that whippoorwill
[Chorus]
G Em
I'm gonna lose you either way
C G
I'm gonna lose you either way
G D C G D C G
If I hold on tightly, Or I let go lightly
G Em C G
[Verse 2]
G Em C G
Now baby, when you say my name it almost sounds absurd
G Em C G
I don't wanna hear that mockingbird
G Em C G
You don't whisper it sweet you say it like a curse word
G Em C G
I don't wanna hear that mockingbird
[Chorus]
G Em
I'm gonna lose you either way
C G
I'm gonna lose you either way
G D C G D C G
If I hold on tightly, Or I let go lightly
G Em C G
[Verse 3]
G Em C G
There must be a number and a corresponding house
G Em C G
Baby, when the door is closed the windows let it out
G Em C G
And she comes by begging for one sweet, lonely sin
G Em C G
But the door, it opens out so you can't kick it in
G Em C G
And her father sweet old man he is comes by to lend a hand
G Em C G
Darlin', i told you all along i only partly understand
G Em C G
And she comes by begging for that lonely sin again saying
G Em C G
"You'd rather be a liar than an honest, lonely man"
[Chorus]
G Em
I'm gonna lose you either way
C G
I'm gonna lose you either way
G D C G D C G
If I hold on tightly, Or I let go lightly
G D C G D C G
If I hold on tightly, Or I let go lightly
[Outro]
