Tabbed by: Glenn-Thore From the album "Book of Lightning" (2007) Intro: F-C-G-C
She tried to Fhold me She tried to Chold me She didn’Gt know love is letting Cgo
She said ‘I’m looking Ffor perfection’ as she strode in my Cdirection She cast her mantle Ground me, said ‘I’m completed since Cyou found me’ She executed her Fenchantment secreted me in her Cencampment With diversions and preGtences she dismantled my deCfences
She tried to hold me She tried to hold me She didn’t know love is letting go She told me I was unrealistic and then she went ballistic in her powder blue pajamas, me some flotsam in her drama She said “love’s what I believe in” but inside she was seething with a cyclone raging under like she was skin surrounding thunder She tried to hold me She tried to hold me She didn’t know love is letting go I made it to the stairwell in the street I muttered farewell with a driving wind agin me and shame exploding in me It took me six years to begin again to feel secure in my own skin again for she lingered like uranium like a demon in my cranium She tried to hold me She tried to hold me She didn’t know love is letting go All this was long ago now and if I knew then what I know now I’d have deployed a little patience I’d have laughed at all her stipulations but I was young and I fumbled a boy-fool whose castle crumbled I couldn’t save her though I forgave her She tried to hold me She tried to hold me She didn’t know love is letting go
