Am Em F7+ G C

CLying on the mattress 'cos my F7+ friend's crazy Gsister took my Cbed away    F7+             G
Sleeping Cshe looked like an actress, in F7+ theory and in Gpractice, I said
"There's Cgot to be a better way"   F7+             G
She said "You lCight a thousand matches, when you F7+ finally set Gfire,
well you Crun away"     F7+          G
So Amwhy'd you go and Emdo it when you knF7+ ew that you would go and GI would stay    C

I hit the Cwall in frustration, the converF7+ sation had been Gcircling for dayCs    F7+         G
She said "Don't Ctake it out on him, for the F7+ wall has always Gbeen
suppCortive in the best of ways" F7+        G
We're lCaughing and crying like F7+ mad men dyGing in the snCow   F7+          G
For just one Amsecond it was Emfunny that F7+ she would have to stay Gand I would go.  C

I said "F7+ Love, you knowC I Glove you so;C when you F7+ love someoneC well you've Ggot to let them know." C
And she saidF7+ "Nothing's Cchanged I Glove you the sameC, but when you F7+ love someone Csometimes you Ggotta let 'em goC"

C F7+ G
C F7+ G
Am Em F7+ G C

C She handed me a stone in the pF7+ erfect shape Gof a heart C    F7+        G
She said "I'm Cgonna take this home for I F7+ know you'll only Glose it somewhere Cafter dark  F7+           G
In some Cfaceless hotel room youF7+ seem to lose Geverything you own" C          F7+             G
She didn't meAman it how it sEmounded, what she F7+ meant was she would Gstay and I would go   C

I said "F7+ Love, you knowC I Glove you so;C when you F7+ love someoneC well you've Ggot to let them know." C
And she saidF7+ "Nothing's Cchanged I Glove you the sameC, but when you F7+ love someone Csometimes you Ggotta let 'em goC"

F7+ Sometimes you Gtear it all apCart
F7+ to see the wGood from the Ctrees.
F7+ Sometimes Gyou break your ownC G hAmeart
F7+    to Gset yoursCelf free

C F7+ G
C F7+ G
Am Em F7+ G C

C   I walked her to the station, hesiF7+ tation in our Gmovements and our toCne         F7+           G
CWords finally left after they F7+ realized how unGcomfortable they'd grown C        F7+           G
See, what you Cwant and what you need, well they F7+ seldomly sucGceed to grow   C        F7+          G
We reAmluctantly agreedEm, that when you F7+ love someone, you've Ggot to let them go
