Multi-platinum selling alternative rock band Switchfoot teamed up with GRAMMY-nominated and Multi Dove Award winning artist Lauren Daigle to offer a fresh take on a familiar song. An all new version of Switchfoot's "I Won't Let You Go" featuring Daigle was released to iTunes in November. Now, you can watch a special one take, one mic acoustic performance of the song below.

"We had the pleasure of bringing our friend Lauren Daigle into the studio to create this new unreleased version of 'I Won't Let You Go.' It was so inspiring to hear her breathe fresh life into one of our favorite songs," shares Switchfoot's Jon Foreman.

Lauren Daigle adds, "This song and lyric meant so much to me. I'm so excited Switchfoot invited me into their studio to sing on this new unreleased version of I'I Won't Let You Go.' I hope it deeply impacts you too."

"I Won't Let You Go" was originally released on Switchfoot's Where The Light Shines Through album which dropped on July 8th, 2016 via Vanguard Records in partnership with Capitol Christian Music Group. The album, Switchfoot's 10th collection, debuted at #1 on the Christian Albums chart, #3 on the Rock, Alternative and Overall Digital Albums charts and #10 on the Billboard Top 200, with more than 29,000 albums sold in the first week.

[Intro]

E /// | B/D# / | B7 / | E /// | B/D# / | B7 / |


[Verse 1]
                   E
When it feels like surgery
                  B/D#
And it burns like third degree
          C#m     B          A
And you wonder "what is it worth?"
                   E        
When your inside's breaking in
                  B/D#
And you feel that ache again
          C#m     B             A
And you wonder "What’s giving birth?"


[Pre-chorus]
A                     E                 B
 If you could let the pain of the past go
         
Of your soul
A                E            B
 None of this is in your control


[Chorus]
                  E
If you could only let your guard down
                   G#m
You could learn to trust me somehow
    C#m           B            A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
                  E
If you could only let go your doubts
                    G#m
If you could just believe in me now
    C#m           B            A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
                 E   B/D#   B7     E   B/D#   B7
I won’t let you go


[Verse 2]
                  E
When your fear is currency
                  B
And you feel that urgency
           C#m              B            A
You want peace but there’s war in your head
                   E
Maybe that’s where life is born
           B
When our facades are torn
           C#m            B        A
Pain gives birth to the promise ahead


[Pre-chorus]
A                     E                 B
 If you could let the pain of the past go
       
Of your soul
A                E            B
 None of this is in your control


[Chorus]
                  E
If you could only let your guard down
                   G#m
You could learn to trust me somehow
    C#m           B            A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
                  E
If you could only let go your doubts
                    G#m
If you could just believe in me now
    C#m           B            A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
                 F#m   B  
I won’t let you go


[Ad-lib]
G#m                        A
   I’ll always be by your side


[Chorus]
                  E
If you could only let your guard down
                   B/D#
You could learn to trust me somehow
    C#m           B            A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
                  E
If you could only let go your doubts
                    B/D#
If you could just believe in me now
    C#m           B            A
I swear, that I won’t let you go
                 E                   G#m
I won’t let you go (I won't let you go)
                 C#m     B           A
I won’t let you go (I won't let you go)


[Coda]
      E                          
There ain’t no darkness strong enough
            G#m
That could tear you out from my heart
      C#m                      B
There ain’t no strength that’s strong enough
           A
That could tear this love apart

      E                          
There ain’t no darkness strong enough
            G#m
That could tear you out from my heart
      C#m                      B
There ain’t no strength that’s strong enough
           A
That could tear this love apart
                     E    G#m
Never gonna let you go
                     C#m   B   A
Never gonna let you go
                    E   B/D#   B7     E   B/D#   B7   E
No I won’t let you go
