    E       E/Eb    D         D/Db
   1) You see it all around you - good lovin' gone bad.
    E        E/Eb         D      D/Db
    And usually it's too late when you realize what you had.
    C                 D
    And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago, who told
me,
    E       E/Eb  D       A     (D/Db-D-E)
    "Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go.
    E        E/Eb  D           A
    If you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control.
    F#m       B
    Your baby needs someone to believe in
    F#m        A
    And a whole lot of space to breathe in."

    E      E/Eb      D      D/Db
   2) It's so damn easy when your feelings are such
    E     E/Eb   D        D/Db
    To overprotect her, to love her too much.
    C                 D
    And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago, who told
me,
    E       E/Eb  D       A     (D/Db-D-E)
    "Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go.
    E        E/Eb    D           A
    If you cling too tight, babe, you're gonna lose control.
    F#m       B
    Your baby needs someone to believe in
    F#m        A
    And a whole lot of space to breathe in."

   B)                Don't let her slip a-
       | D   A   D   A | D   A   D   A   |
        way,               sentimental
       | G   D   G   D | G   D    G   D |
        fool,         Don't let your heart get
       | D   A   D  A-A#| B   .   .   .  |
        in  her  way.
