intro; basic pattern ||: | :|| | | I can't be held responsible for blown behavior | | I lost all contact with my only savior No one locked me out because I failed to phone up I can't bear to live forever like a loner Chorus | | | ... Don't let go the coat Don't let go the coat Don't let go the coat Don't let go the coat It's easy to be sad when you lack a partner But how would I react to a broken heart now It ain't really true rock and roll unless I'm Hanging onto you and when I hold it next time I won't let go the coat Don't let go the coat Don't let go the coat Don't let go the coat | | | | | | | | | | ... bridge | | | | () | I try to explain but you never understand it I need your body but I can't just demand it | | | | I won't let go like a stray at heel (Never let him out of your sight) | | | | Every lonely wife knows the way I feel (Don't let go tonight) Don't let go the coat Never let go the coat... Your friends all pass for life is just a market But you have to finish everything you started So I live my life tearing down the runway Sure to get the hang of hanging in there someday Don't let go the coat... Won't get no more chances Ooh, forget the war dances Don't let go... Never let go the coat Don't let go Go blind and hang on Don't try the slang, son Never let go the coat, no, no Don't let go...
