Verse 1:
F             C
You shouldn't wade out in deep water
         G
when you don't know how to swim
   G7
He told you it was over
           C
and like a fool you followed him
                 G7/B    Am  G
into a whirlpool of emotion
F            C/E        Dm
spinnin' out of control
     G7                                 C
It's killin' you, but you won't let him go

Chorus:
                      F
Let go of the stone
                         C
if you don't wanna drown
              G         G7
in the sea of heartache
                    C
that's draggin' you down
                 F
It's pulling you under
                     C
and you keep hangin' on
                  G
If I'm ever gonna save you
              C
Let go of the stone

Verse 2:
Oh don't you realize the danger
and the hurt you're headed for
Put your arms around me
and swim with me to shore
Just let go of that ol' mem'ry
I know it's hard to do
But I'll be here
holding on to you

Chorus:

Howard
