Intro
[C#maj9]F#m7 - - - G#m7 - - A/B (stop)
Verse 1
[F#m7]There you have it, you see this love regretting.
There's [G#m7]something wrong again, but you had it in the palm of your hand.
Your [F#m7]heart has started bleeding. You gotta get out, you're leaving.
You're [G#m7]on your own forever. It's not the space or time or
[F#m7]whether... you can leave. You want, you can't have.
You [G#m7]need, you can't touch. You plead, it's enough, it's enough.
There's [F#m7]something happening to ya. Love can see right through ya.
In a [G#m7]world of make believe, don't go throwing it all away.
[F#m7]Hold on to love, [G#m7]hold on to love.
Amaj7 C7b9 (addb13)
Treat it as a good thing. Be always ready with that electric feeling.
Chorus
[C#]You work so [B/C#]hard to be in love with her.

Verse 2
[F#m7]The more and more you hear it, the more it seems to make sense.
To [G#m7]hold love in the palm of your hand...
But you [F#m7]think that round the corner they're queuing up to hold her.
But [G#m7]that won't make a difference in the end. There's never space or time or
[F#m7]whether... You can leave, you want, you can't have.
You [G#m7]need, you can't touch. You plead, it's enough, enough.
There's [F#m7]something happening to ya. Love can see right through ya.
In a [G#m7]world of make believe, don't go throwing it all away.
[F#m7]Hold on to love, there's [G#m7]nothing more important.
Amaj7 C7b9 (addb13)
