F Dm Am
I've been tryna lose you baby
F Dm Am
I'm getting kinda used to failing every try
F Dm Am
I guess we both refuse to face it
F Dm Am
Neither one of us will ever change our stripes
F Dm Am
Why are we dancing now that the party's over?
F Dm Am
Why are we running now that the race is done?
F Dm Am
Yea we try to let it go, but there's no way we can control it
F Dm Am
If we can't pull the trigger, then baby let this linger
Am
Linger
F Dm Am
On and on, on and on, on and on (Linger)
F Dm Am
On and on, on and on, on and on
F Dm Am
So I keep the fire burning
F Dm Am
But I'm wondering why I still can feel the cold
F Dm Am
And I squeeze and I squeeze as hard as I can
F Dm Am
Hoping I will get some blood out of this stone
F Dm Am
Why are we dancing now that the party's over?
F Dm Am
Why are we running now that the race is done?
F Dm Am
Yea we try to let it go, but there's no way we can control it
F Dm Am
If we can't pull the trigger, then baby let this linger
Am
Linger

On and on, on and on, on and on (Linger)

Lupe Fiasco:
F Dm
We'll make it last 'till the last one
Am
Each release is just a lease that repeats the past one
F Dm
Song that never ends, that was Lamb Chop
Am
Exodus, but the sex in us is a welcome mat back to Jamrock
F Dm
So even when the band stops
Am
Guitar still playin' even though the hand's not
F Dm
And all of this amounts to poltergeists and haunted houses so
Am
Even when we die, we'll still be alive
F Dm Am
Why are we dancing now that the party's over?
F Dm Am
Why are we running now that the race is done?
F Dm Am
Yea we try to let it go, but there's no way we can control it
F Dm Am
If we can't pull the trigger, then baby let this linger
Linger
(x2)
F Dm Am
On and on, on and on, on and on (Linger)

On and on, on and on, on and on
