[Verse]
F Bb
The hands you're holding now, if you remember
F C
Are the very hands that gave you your first rose
F Bb
They're reachin' out for one last dyin' ember
C F
In the ashes of the love that's lost it's glow
[Chorus]
F Bb
But, if you don't want me, I won't try to keep you
F C
But, there's just the smallest chance you may be wrong,
so wrong, so wrong
F Bb
Until you sure, I hope you'll never let go
C F
Of the hands that you've been holding for so long
[Verse]
F Bb
I can't forget the first time that I kissed you
F C
It's the sweetest feelin' I have ever known
F Bb
But every dream, they say, must have an ending
C F
And you leave the hands you're holding for so long
(Advance 2 steps to G)
[Chorus]
G C
But, if you don't want me, I won't try to keep you
G D
But, there's just the smallest chance you may be wrong,
so wrong, so wrong
G C
Until you sure, I hope you'll never let go
D G
Of the hands that you've been holding for so long
