[Verse 1]

G

This morning when I woke

Em

And you were on my mind

I swore that if you wrote

G

I’d take it as a sign

And then I saw your note

Em

But I could not reply

The words stuck in my throat

C

I had to close my eyes

And remember long ago

Am

When I could have walked away

You asked me to let go

G

But I didn’t have the strength

Em

I didn’t have the strength

G

I didn’t have the strength

Em

I didn’t have the strength

G Em G Em

[Verse 2]

G

It’s been a little while

Em

You’re moving on I know

Everything’s a trial

G

Every day I’m losing hope

I try to catch your eye

Em

I want to hold you close

Sometimes I see you smile

C

And then my heart explodes

But when you turn away

Am

I know I’m on my own

I haven’t got the strength

G

But I have to let you go

[Chorus]

Em

I have to let you go

G

I have to let you go

Em

I have to let you go

[Verse 3]

G

You say you fill your days

Em

From morning until night

You’re in your happy haze

G

You’ve given up the fight

But me I’m in a daze

Em

I think I’ve lost my mind

I wander in my gaze

C

You’re always out of sight

I know what I should say

Am

I’m just looking for the code

I haven’t got the strength

G

But I have to let you go

[Chorus]

Em

I have to let you go

G

I have to let you go

Em

I have to let you go

[Interlude]

G Em G Em G Em G Em G Em G Em

[Verse 4]

G

Whenever I’m awake

Em

You’re always on my mind

The heart it strains and breaks

G

Or does it just unwind

You’re running through my veins

Em

You float behind my eyes

My sense of you pervades

C

Now is that such a crime

And I anticipate

Am

For what I’ll never know

I haven’t got the strength

G

But I have to let you go

[Chorus]

Em

I have to let you go

G

I have to let you go

Em

I have to let you go

[Solo]

(This repeats until the end)
