Letting Go

Bm A G Em D A

[Verse 1]
           Bm  A   G
It wasn’t always bad
              Em D  A
You were so good to me
            Bm   A   G
You always made me laugh
          Em  D   A
Swept me off my feet

[Interlude 1]
Bm                D                G
Like a wave comes to the shore break
Bm                D                G
Like a cool breeze on a summer day
             A    Bm           Em
I would be crazy not to love you
       A     Bm            Em
Am I crazy still to love you?

[Chorus]
      G
It’s not what we want
Bm
Maybe it’s what we need
D
Holding on to things
                            G
That are trying to set us free

            G
When it’s harder to stay
Bm
Than it is to leave
D
Holding on to you
              G
Holding on to me

           Bm   A   G
So let me say this now...
          Bm      A       G
I never meant to let you down
         G                  A
Maybe, that’s the hardest part of Letting Go
Bm A G Em D A

[Verse 2]
                Bm  A   G
And you always had my back
             Em  D  A
You saw the best in me
                Bm   A         G
And when our hearts made one heartbeat
              Em            D         A
There was no limit to what love could be

[Interlude 2]
           G                A
But the fighting gets to screaming
          Bm                  A
and the screaming leads to slamming
                   D
doors that won’t open...
                G
How’d it get broken?

G               A
Same old story on repeat,
      Bm           A
this isn’t what I want for you,
D                           G
this isn’t what I want for me...

[Chorus]
      G
It’s not what we want
Bm
Maybe it’s what we need
D
Holding on to things
                            G
That are trying to set us free

            G
When it’s harder to stay

Bm
Than it is to leave
D
Holding on to you
              G
Holding on to me

           Bm   A   G
So let me say this now...
          Bm      A       G
I never meant to let you down
         G                  A
Maybe, that’s the hardest part of Letting Go

[Interlude]
Bm A G Em D A

[Bridge]
                Bm   A  G
Cause it wasn’t always bad...
           Em            D      A
But some things aren’t meant to be

[Chorus]
      G
It’s not what we want
Bm
Maybe it’s what we need
D
Holding on to things
                            G
That are trying to set us free

            G
When it’s harder to stay
Bm
Than it is to leave
D
Holding on to you
              G
Holding on to me

           Bm   A   G
So let me say this now...
               Bm     A    G
There’s still love to be found

          Bm      A       G
I never meant to let you down
         G                  A                  Bm A G
Maybe, that’s the hardest part of Letting Go
              G                  A
Yeah, maybe that’s the hardest part... of Letting Go
