Intro: E/G#-A-F#m-B-; (2x)

  E         F#m7      
   We often fool ourselves
       G#m7      A  
   And say that it's love only
  E                 F#m7
   'Cause when it's gone
              Ebm7   G#7
   We end up being lonely
      C#m           C#m+M7
   So how are we to know
             C#m7       C#m6
   That it's just isn't so
             A   G#m   F#m             F#m7 break
   That we just have to let each other go

  E               F#m7
   There are many times 
            G#m7-A
   When we share precious moments
       E          F#m7
   But later realize
              Ebm7      G#7
   They were only stolen moments
      C#m           C#m+M7
   So how are we to know
           C#m7       C#m6
   That it just wasn't so
            A   G#m7   F#m7       A   DM7
   That we just have to let each other go

                  Chorus
  E/B                       Bbdim7
   If loving you is all that means to me
  A                          G#m           C#m
   Then being happy is all I hope you'll be
  F#m7         G#m 
   Then loving you must mean
       A             B       E/G#-A-F#m7-B-
   I really have to set you free

  E            F#m7
   Each day we meet
               G#m7        A
   My love for you keeps going stronger
        E           F#m7
   But everytime we meet
                 Ebm7       G#7
   Makes leaving you so much harder
      C#m           C#m+M7
   So how are we to know
           C#m7       C#m6
   That it just wasn't so
            A   G#m7   F#m7        A   DM7
   That we just have to let each other go

   (Repeat Chorus except last word)

   Letting go is not an easy task
      E7/B                 
   We smile, it feels like I must wear
          F#7
   This lonely mask
        A          G#m7
   It hurts deep inside
         F#m7        E/G#
   And I just cannot hide
               A
   That this anguish at the thought
                   B
   That we should have to part
