The Girl Who Lost Her Grip

Intro: C Em Am F

Verse 1:
C              Em             Am
What am I supposed to do now that you're gone?
   F
I can't go on
C             Em          Am
Edinburgh to Africa felt like a blink
    F
I'm on my knees

Pre-Chorus:
         C
And I'm holding onto every scrap
Em                          Am
Every piece of paper I can find
                     F
I'll hold it like I used to hold you
     C
They say that I need to adapt
     Em                                    Am
They say "move on" but I'll still call you mine
                         F
I'll love you like I've always loved you

Chorus:
-nc-             C
I guess I'm the girl who lost her grip
             Em
They gather around and watch me slip
           Am
As I do my best

To try to fix this mess
                    Em
Of course I'll just make things worse


                 C
Because I'm the girl who lost her grip
          Em
On reality, lost all sense of normality
            Am
Lost all control

Too far gone to console
       Em
What a poor restless soul

Interlude: C Em Am F

Verse 2:
C            Em                 Am
How am I supposed to laugh now that you're gone?
    F
It feels so wrong
C                     Em            Am
Upstate New York to a small town in New Jersey
  F                                     C
a house that should've been for you and me

Pre-Chorus:

I guess I could try to live here
Em                            Am
But it wouldn't be the same without you, dear
F
I'd be lonely
C
They say that I need to adapt
Em                               Am
Learn to cope, but how can I do that?
                 F
When you were my one and only

Chorus:
-nc-             C
I guess I'm the girl who lost her grip
             Em
They gather around and watch me slip
           Am
As I do my best

To try to fix this mess
                    Em
Of course I'll just make things worse


                 C
Because I'm the girl who lost her grip
          Em
On reality, lost all sense of normality
            Am
Lost all control

Too far gone to console
       Em
What a poor restless soul

Interlude: C Em Am F

Bridge:
C
Does it make me a bad person
Em                        Am
For trying to live in the past?
                       F
It's somewhere where I can still reach you
C
Would you hate me if you you saw me
Em                               Am
Trying way too hard to make this last?
                     F
Don't think that I'm ready to leave you

Chorus:
-nc-             C
I guess I'm the girl who lost her grip
              Em
They gather around and watch me slip
            Am
As I do my best

To try to fix this mess
                     Em
Of course I'll just make things worse


                 C
Because I'm the girl who lost her grip
          Em
On reality, lost all sense of normality
            Am
Lost all control

Too far gone to console
       Em
What a poor restless soul

Interlude: C Em Am F

Outro: Am C
