[Capo] 6th

[Chords] D/F#: 200232 || Am/C: x32210

[Intro] G C G C

[Verse]
C           G
  Well I'll tell you the truth
   C      G  D/F# Em
As I only do my friend
        G
I'll be living my youth
     C            G   D/F#  Em
As I live till my end my   friend

[Pre-Chorus]
          D            C
I've been battered and bruised
         G       C              C    Am/C Am Em
But it's only a few that have stayed or left
           G          D
And that's nothing a hammer
  Em          G             C  Am/C Am Em
A nail or my mind couldn't cure
         D
But I've left people hang
       C          Am
On a stick or a word
         Am     G   D  Em
If their grip grew tight
         D
All the bottles, the battles
     G               D                 C
The beds that I've shared they're all mine

[Chorus]
                      G
But the more you hold on to me
                  Em  D  C
The less you can have of me
                  G
The more you hold on to me
               Em    D   C
The less I am yours to keep

[Verse]
           G
Well I'll tell you the truth
     C              G   D/F# Em
If that's what you want my friend
           G
Sometimes being a friend
        C        G   D/F# Em
Is not saying a word my friend

[Pre-Chorus]
            D             C
I've been shattered and shoved
        G            C
And I shattered and shoved
        C   Am/C   Am  Em
But my mind is   clear
           D
And I've chosen my women, my men
           G        C  Am/C Am Em
And I've chosen my fears
          D
But I've loved you with the marrow
      G           D          C  Am/C  Am  Em
That fills up my bones and I always  will
            D
If you are with me or not
     G                   C
All depends if you hold me too near

[Chorus]
But the more you hold on to me
The less you can have of me
The more you hold on to me
The less I am yours to keep
The more you hold on to me
The less I am yours to keep
The more you hold on to me
The less I am yours or me

[Outro]
           C        Em
There are devils inside
                    C
That I am not afraid to meet
      D    C      Em
There are devils outside
                    C
But I am not ashamed to be
                      G         C  G
But the more you hold on to me
          C            G
Yeah the more you hold on to me
         C         G
I will try not to leave
