[Verse 1]
                   Ab                        Db/Ab
It's three in the morning you're nowhere in sight,
                Db/Eb                       Ab
And all that I wanted was to be with you tonight.
                       Ab                 Db/Ab
I've watched love get closer and then fade away,
                Db/Eb                                    Ab
I've seen you believe in me, I've seen you're trying to stay.

[Chorus]
     Ab/C         Dbmaj7   Eb/Db        Cm7    Fm7
But what good is holding on     when you know,
        Bbm7               Eb       Ebm7  Ab
That all you can think about is letting go.
                Dbmaj7      Eb/Db         Cm7      Fm7
They say if you love someone    then set them free,
                Bbm        Ab/C
If they'll come back again then in the end,
Db                 Db/Eb
  It was meant to be.

[Verse 2]
                   Ab
I thought we were lovers,
                 Db/Ab
I thought we were friends.
              Db/Eb                         Ab
I guess when reality steps in the dreaming ends.
                 Ab    Ab/C
We live for the future,
                   Db
We learn from the past.
               Db/Eb                              Ab  Ab/C
No matter how hard we try some good things never last.

All you can think about is letting go.

Be true to yourself my love,
       Eb/Db                     Cm7 Fm7
That's all i ever wanted you to be.
       Bbm7
Just don't forget to smile,
Ab              Gb    Db/Eb
When you think of me.

[Verse 3]
                      Ab
I've reached for the star,
                    Db/Ab
I have got them in sight.
                     Db/Eb
There's someone who really needs me,
                  Ab
Out there in the night.
                 Ab    Ab/C
We live for the future,
         Db
We will learn from the past.
               Db/Eb
No matter how hard we try,
                        Ab Ab/C Db Eb Ab
Some good things never last.
