I Cannot Let You Go Lyrics

j7
Verse:
With sleight of hand and force of will Closets full of odd-sized shoes to fill
I better be a gifted kid To undo some of the deeds you did
Chorus:
In one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
You're gonna be alone, gonna be alone, it's gonna be late
Forgive you
anything, I try to shake it but it just won't do And it's all coming back to me now
So we'll pretend or make up something new You can push me away but
I cannot let you go, I cannot let you go, I cannot let you go
Instrumental:

Verse:
The rubber band is wearing thin Bursting as reality kicks in
All hope should be at long last lost But you'll defy all sense at any cost
Chorus:
In one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
You're gonna be alone, gonna be alone, it's gonna be late
Forgive you
anything, I try to shake it but it just won't do And it's all coming back to me now
So we'll pretend or make up something new But there's no getting back to the start
So we'll pretend or make up something new You can push me away but
I cannot let you go, I cannot let you go, I cannot let you go, I cannot let you go
Instrumental:
Bbmaj7 -> Bbmaj7 with 5 in the bass note -> Bbmaj7 w/ 4 in the bass note - > C) x 4
Last time through, don't play the C. Go straight into the Gm7 in the chorus.
Chorus:
In one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
You're gonna be alone, gonna be alone, it's gonna be late
Forgive you
anything, I try to shake it but it just won't do And it's all coming back to me now
So we'll pretend or make up something new But there's no getting back to the start
I'll be a father, you can be a son Till I can't even tell us apart
I tried to shake it but the deal is done You can push me away but
Ending:
I cannot let you go, I cannot let you go, try as I may I know, I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go, I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go, I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go
