These are the third verse lyrics. Play the same chords as the

And I don't hate you that it's gone this way
Some things just ain't meant to be
And I gotta let you go
 
Play Chorus

You'll have to listen to it for the beat.

I still can't figure why
Joy can erase in the blink of an eye
You no longer need me
Just when I let you belong in my life

We had something

But whatever it was has gone

And I gotta let you go
 
B E
So don't stay here
 
G#m A Asus2
If you wanna move on
 
C#m
I gotta let you go
 
Play the chorus a few times to these words. they're basically the same
It's just the bits tania adds in.
 
Ooh Ooh
I gotta let you go
Ooh Ooh
You and I both know
I gotta let you go
 
There's no reason
We should still be holding on
And I gotta let you go
So don't stay here
If our chances have gone
I gotta let you go
 
Ooh Ooh yeah yeah
I gotta let you go
Ooh Ooh
The time has come I know
I gotta let you go
 
after all this james fades out on the C#m in the same beat
as the bridge. try doing some soloing using the C#m blues scale
on the 9th fret.
