[Verse 1]
N.C.                 G
Let me down slow and easy
                                   D
Because there ain't nothing I can do
                                 G
I hope and pray, my faith won't leave me
                              A
When it comes down to me and you


[Pre-Chorus]
G             D      A
Try a little tenderness
G
 I die a little
D                  A
 For a long lost sweet caress


[Chorus]
D
 You lying next to me
Bm
 Fulfilled some destiny
G
 I want to cry
        D        A
But I breathe a sigh
D
 Just a little bit of letting go
Bm
 I don't want you to know
G
 I want to cry
        D        A
But I breathe a sigh


[Verse 2]
N.C.          G
Overflow of emotion
                          D
And a hurt that'll never heal
                         G
If you close the door forever
                     A
The fate of pain is sealed


[Pre-Chorus]
G             D      A
 Try a little tenderness
G
 I die a little
D                  A
 For a long lost sweet caress


[Chorus]
D
 You lying next to me
Bm
 Fulfilled some destiny
G
 I want to cry
        D        A
But I breathe a sigh
D
 Just a little bit of letting go
Bm
 I don't want you to know
G
 I want to cry
        D        A
But I breathe a sigh


[Verse 3]
                             A#
I more than long for your affection
                            F
You tell me now that ain't so
                     A#
Not even gentle persuasion
                         C
Is ever going to let me go


[Chorus]
F
 You lying next to me
Dm
 Fulfilled some destiny
A#
 I want to cry
        F        C
But I breathe a sigh
F
 Just a little bit of letting go
Dm
 I don't want you to know
A#
 I want to cry
        F        C
But I breathe a sigh


[Outro]
C
 Won't you let me breathe?
C
 Won't you let me breathe?
         C
Let me breathe
C
 Won't you let me breathe?
C
 Breathe a sigh
C
 Won't you let me breathe?
C
 Won't you let me breathe?
C
 Breathe a sigh
C
 Won't you let me breathe?
