F                                            Dm
I've been holding back words and waiting for time      
Bb                                              C
   There's a lesson here somewhere  I know it's mine
F                                       Dm         
And though I'll remember the promise we made    
Bb                                       C          run( C C-D  C-F  C-G )
     Promises don't justify feeling this way

F             Dm             F                  Dm
It's time for letting go     We can't hide what we both know
Gm           Dm           Bb                        C  run(C-F  C-E  C-D  C )          
But ooh, the hurt grows      Every time I think it's over

F                                      Dm   
You've been keeping all your secrets inside 
Bb                                              C
   I know the truth now baby, you don't have to hide
F                                     Dm    
But my mind wanders to the very first day   
Bb                                          C        run( C C-D  C-F  C-G )
   What a shame things had to turn out this way

F              Dm             F                Dm           
It's time for letting go      We can't hide what we both know
Gm           Dm          Bb                     C
But ooh, the hurt grows    Every time I think it's over

Bb                                           G
No words could bring back your affection     And no lies could keep me holding on

F   Dm                                       F     Dm
                 Holding on and holding on
Gm                    Dm        Bb       C
                                             Now I know that it's

F        Dm             F                 Dm
Time for letting go     We can't hide what we both know
Gm           Dm          Bb                         C
But ooh, the hurt grows     Every time I think it's over
      F      Dm        F                      Dm
It's time to realize     That we're both just living lies
Gm           Dm           Bb                          C
And way down deep inside  The time is telling me it's time for letting go

                          Dm
                Let it go                  I keep telling myself 
F                         Dm
over and over   Let it go...               But my love's still strong
F                         Dm
                                         I just can't keep holding on
F                                   Dm
       And holding on and holding on                         I know
F  (Fadd9  F  Fadd9  F)    Dm        (Dsus4  Dm  Dsus2  Dm)
                                                    Oh oh oh I know
F    ( “   “  “  )         Dm         ( “ “ “ )
       (Hah ah oh oh )           (Hah ah oh oh )
F    ( “ “ “ )             Dm         ( “ “ “ )
