If I let you go    (video)    (midi)

 

    G ~ ~

 

      G                  Bm

1. Day after day, time pass away,

Am                                    D

    and I just can't get you off my mind.

       G                      Bm           

    Nobody knows, I hide it inside,

Am                                     D

    I keep on searching, but I can't find

           Bm                          Em

    the courage to show, to letting you know,

    Am                                D

    I've never felt so much love before.

             C         D            B7          Em Am             C             D

    And once again, I'm thinking about taking the easy way out.

 

            A                       F#m

But if I let you go, I will never know

               D                                         E 

what my life would be, holding you close to me.

        F#m                               D

Will I ever see, you smiling back at me, oh yeah ?

 Bm            Dm                   A

How will I know if I let you go ?

 

      G                         Bm

2. Night after night I hear myself say :

Am                                         D

    Why can't this feeling just fade away ?

                 G                                  Bm

    There's no-one like you, you speak to my heart,

Am                                        D

    it's such a shame, we're worlds apart.

          Bm                        Em

    I'm too shy to ask, I'm too proud to lose,

           Am                     D

    but sooner or later I got to choose.

             C         D            B7          Em Am             C             D

    And once again, I'm thinking about taking the easy way out.

what my life would be, holding you close to me.

        F#m                             D

Will I ever see you smiling back at me, oh yeah ?
