	  		D                             A        D        
Two young lovers with their bodies on fire 
D                    Bm         A    
Aching to swim that river of desire 
            G                   F#m             Bm 
Leaving innocence there on the bank by their clothes 
   D                    A            D  
A man holding on to a woman letting go 
D                                    A            D 
There's a man with a bottle on the other side of town 
D                         Bm             A                    
Swimming with the memory that he can't drown 
G                               F#m          Bm 
Lord it ain't sunk in that she ain't coming home 
      D                    A            D 
Oh a man holding on to a woman letting go. 
CHORUS: 
     F#m                     Em               D 
His heart is telling him to hang on for dear life 
       Bm                             G                  A 
Cause deep down he know she's letting go for good this time 
 
D                              A                 D 
There's a daddy walking his daughter down the aisle 
D                        Bm         A      
Fighting back tears and forcing  a smile 
       G                   F#m        Bm  
Over twenty-two years he watched her grow 
   D                    A            D 
A man holding on to a woman letting go 
 
lead 
D                               A         D 
In Hill Valley home there's a feeble old man 
D                          Bm          A  
And he's holding on to a fragile old hand 
          G                    F#m      Bm 
And the angels are coming to carry her home 
            D                     A          D  
Now he's a man holding on to a woman letting go 
chorus, key change 
E                             B        E 
Two young lovers with their bodies on fire 
 E                   C#m       B    
Aching to swim that river of desire 
           A                   G#m            C#m  
Leaving innocence there on the bank by their clothes 
   E                    B            E    
A man holding on to a woman letting go
