G              C    G
I can't let my baby be
C
Tried to turn him to a shape
      D                  G
That would fit well with me
       Am
Now my baby's all alone
     Em
Ever since I up and gone
G              C    G
I can't let my baby be

[Verse 2]
G              C    G
I can't let my baby sleep
  C
I wake him in the wee small hours
D              G
Of the morning breeze
       Am
Or I'd choke up on the tears
       Em
Like a faucet without gears
G              C    G
I can't let my baby sleep

[Chorus 1]
C                    Am
  How do you leave behind
                     G
A love that hasn't died?
C                  Am
 He says to me and frowns
    Em                   D
And I can't let my baby down
Am                   D
I can't let my baby down
  G
Easy

[Verse 3]
G              C    G
I can't let my baby drown
       C
If he sinks below the line of sight
D          G
I best be bound
Am
To a life in debt
   Em
To sadness and regret
G              C    G
I can't let my baby drown

[Chorus 2]
C                    Am
  How do you leave behind
                     G
A love that hasn't died?
C                  Am
 He says to me and frowns
    Em                   D
And I can't let my baby down
Am                   D
I can't let my baby down
 G
Easy

[Bridge]
C           Am
Where do I go
      C
If I got no road ahead?
            G
Where do I hide
   C                                G
If I can't find nothing to stand behind?
       C                                G
'Cause I can't find nothing to stand behind

[Outro]
G              C    G
I can't let my baby leave
C
If he's gone I won't go on
D              G
Knowing how to believe
      Am
That love's some kind of dancer
        Em
If you call it, it'll answer
G              C    G
I can't let my baby leave
