Intro: F#m-G-Bb-G pause F#m pause

  D          Em            F#m
   We often fool ourselves and say
         G                D              Em
   That it's love only 'cause when it's gone
             Bm7   F#7
   We end up being lonely.

               Refrain
      Bm            Bm+M7
   So how are we to know
        Bm7                  Bm6
   That it just (isn't/wasn't) so
            G           Em         D-C-A7
   That we just have to let each other go

     D             Em            F#m
   There are many times when we share
    G                   D     Em
   Precious moments but later realize
         Bm7             F#7
   They were only stolen moments.

   (Repeat Refrain)

                 Chorus
  D/A                         Bm/G#
   If  loving you is all that means to me
    G                        F#m    Bm
   Then being happy is all I hope (you'd/you'll) be
    Em         F#m
   Then loving you must mean
      G              A           F#m-G-Bb (pause)
   I really have to set you free

    D           Em              F#m
   Each day we meet my love for you
     G                   D                Em
   Keeps going stronger but everytime we meet
                 Bm7    F#7
   Makes leaving you so much harder.

   (Repeat Refrain)

  Bm                  Bbaug
   Letting go is not an easy task
       D/A
   We smile and feels like
                    D/G#
   I must bear this lonely mask
        G          F#m
   It hurts deep inside
       Em             F#m
   And I  just cannot hide
         G
   With this anguish at the thought
                   A
   That we should head to part.
