Why Cant I Let You Go

Tim Foust


Tom: G

G C Em C

[Verse 1]
           G
Seems like years
              C
And I'm still missing you like hell
        Em
I still have that tattered t-shirt
      C
Cause it still has your smell
        G                            C
And our song's been on repeat for an hour or so
        Em C*                 G C Em C
Tell me why can't I let you go

[Verse 2]
G
I've lived a lot of life
      C
For a simple small town girl
Em
I've met a lot of people
         C
And I've seen a lot of world
     G
I've learned so many things
        C
But the one thing I don't know
   Em C                  G
is why can't I let you go

[Chorus]
            C
Must be the way you touched me
            Bm
The way you look me in the eyes
Em
It only took a single kiss
   G
To make me compromise
              C
And it should be enough to know
        Bm                   Em
We were wrong right from the start
   Am              G
My mind can see it clearly
       G#*                    G C Em C*
But it can't convince my heart

[Verse 3]
G
It's taken time
        C
But I'm finally getting by
Em
And understanding
           C
There's no point in asking why
G
I don't have all the answers
C
And I may never know
Em C                  Em C
Why can't I let you go

[Outro]
G                       D
No I don't have all the answers
        C
But for now at least I know
Em C*                  G C
I just can't let you go
                   Em C*
Why can't I let you go, ooooh
