[Intro]
Am


[Verse 1]
Am
I have not quite thrown
             E7
Enough of me away
E7     Am
I have tried to rip the rest of me apart
                       E7
But still a little bit remains


[Chorus 1]
E7           Am                  E7
Please don’t hold me too tightly by the reins
E7     Am
I will crumble to a powder
                              E7
I will shatter and be swiftly swept away


[Verse 2]
Am 
(Riff 1) I do still want for you to love me
Am                    E7
I just don’t know who I am
E7    Am
But I know that who I’m not is who I’ve been
Am                  E7
And I will never be again


[Chorus 2]
E7           Am                         E7
Please don’t hold me too tightly by the reins
E7        Am
Or I will kick and I will buck
Am                                        E7   
And I will run right out the nearest open gate (Riff 2)


[Verse 3]
E7                         Am
I may just graze until I’m lonesome
Am                          E7
I might just run right back again
E7      Am
With my tail between my legs
Am                                    E7
And with a look that begs you baby to forgive


[Chorus 3]
E7         Am                         E7
But if you hold me too tightly by the reins
E7     Am
I will crumble to a powder
Am                            E7
I will shatter and be swiftly swept away


[Verse 4]
Am                                  Am
(Riff 1) I do still want for you to love me
Am                      E7
I just don’t know who I am
E7    Am
But I know that who I’m not is who I’ve been
Am                  E7
And I will never be again


[Chorus 4]
E7           Am                         E7
Please don’t hold me too tightly by the reins
E7        Am
Or I will kick and I will buck
Am                                        E7
And I will run right out the nearest open gate


[Outro]
Am                           E7
La de da, da da, da da da da da da
Am                              E7
La de da, da da, da da da da da da, da da da (Riff2) 
Am Am
