 1) You see it all around you - good lovin' gone bad.
 E                E/Eb                  D            D/Db 
 And usually it's too late when you realize what you had.
 C                                 D                            
 And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago, who told
 me,
 E             E/Eb    D              A  (D/Db-D-E) 
 "Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go.
 E                E/Eb    D                     A    
 If you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control.
 F#m             B                    
 Your baby needs someone to believe in
 F#m                A                    
 And a whole lot of space to breathe in."

 2) It's so damn easy when your feelings are such
 E         E/Eb     D                D/Db 
 To overprotect her, to love her too much.
