[Opening]
You gotta let it [Am]go cause we’re losing grip [G]now
It’s about to go [F]down, would you let me talk to [E]you, [E7]you?

Of a nervous break[F]down cause
I can’t get through to [E]you, [E7]you

[chorus]
I got my hands up [Am]screaming, got my hands up [G]screaming

[verse 2]
You never let me [Am]go, got me chained to your [G]touch
Like a slave for your [F]love, I’m ashamed to say it’s [E]true, [E7]oh
Afraid to let you [Am]go cause without you I’m [G]lost
And no matter the [F]cost, I’ll be standing next to [E]you, [E7]oh

[chorus]
I got my hands up [Am]screaming, got my hands up [G]screaming
Don’t [F]shoot love baby, don’t shoot love,

Don’t [F]shoot love baby, don’t shoot love,
Don’t [E]shoot love baby, don’t [E7]shoot

[Closing]
My [F]back’s [Dm]against the [Am]wall [E]tonight
So go [Dm]ahead pull the trigger, shoot the lights out
So go [E]ahead pull the trigger, shoot the [E7]lights out
I [F]see the [Dm]fear that’s [Am]in your [E]eyes
So go [Dm]ahead pull the trigger, shoot the lights out
So go [E]ahead pull the trigger, [E7]shoot

[chorus]
I got my hands up [Am]screaming, got my hands up [G]screaming
Don’t [F]shoot love baby, don’t shoot love
Don’t [E]shoot love baby, don’t [E7]shoot
When you get that [Am]feeling, when you get that [G]feeling
Don’t [F]shoot love baby, don’t shoot love
Don’t [E]shoot love baby, don’t [E7]shoot
