Intro: Em - G - C


G                 C          Em                    C
Time will rob you blind-take everything you have to offer
G                   C                   Em                  C
Love, sweet when it comes, saves all us beggars, priests and authors.
Em           C                       Em                    C
Oh, how do we let go, when someone we love slips away in the shadows?


     G               C                   G             D
It's hard to see you go, 'cause you mean everything to me.
    G                   C                 G              D
The seeds that you have sewn will live on deep inside of me.
     Em         G       C                  Em       G         C
It's time you're leaving now-your hands are cold as I kiss your brow.
           Em        G          C           Em        G        C
And I will try, but I don't know how, to let go.
       Em        G        C
To let go.


G                 C               Em        C
Years fly without fear, turning a boy into a father.
       G                             C
Now he smiles through tears down the aisle 
            Em      G        C
As he gives away his youngest daughter.
Em           C                      Em                    C
Oh, how do we let go, when every new step leads us into the unknown?


     G               C                   G             D
It's hard to see you go, 'cause you mean everything to me.
    G                   C                 G              D
The seeds that you have sewn will live on deep inside of me.
     Em         G       C                  Em       G         C
It's time you're leaving now-your hands are cold as I kiss your brow.
           Em        G          C           Em        G        C
And I will try, but I don't know how, to let go.
       Em        G        C
To let go.


          C                 D                   Em
Every new morning all I can do is hold onto the promise
                    G
That all we hope is true.
                   C                       D
That when it's all over, when this life is through,
                Em        G           C
I'll wake up in heaven and run to find you.


               G               C                   G             D
But still it's hard to see you go, 'cause you mean everything to me.
    G                   C                 G              D
The seeds that you have sewn will live on deep inside of me.
     Em         G       C                  Em       G         C
It's time you're leaving now-your hands are cold as I kiss your brow.
           Em        G          C           Em        G        C
And I will try, but I don't know how, to let go.
       Em        G        C
To let go.
       Em        G        C
To let go.
