G G5+ G6 G5+
A child that hides behind a chair,
G G/F Cmaj7
almost afraid to grow without you there.
G/B Am7
Whisper words that make you see
C/D D D7 G
what you've come to mean to me.
G G5+ G6 G5+
A voice that rises from the heart,
G G/F Cmaj7
the hunger that seizes me and tears my soul apart.
G/B Am7
And serving only to renew
C/D D D7 G
how I came to feel for you.
G F#5+
Through your love I'd seen forever.
F13 E7
We became as one.
Cm D
I never saw you turn away.
Gmaj7
My love was blind.
Bb F
You call me when your storm is over.
Bb F Gm7
Crying over love that I can give you.
Bb
When the night is the colder.
C D E
Holding on to me.
Am
'Cause it's so hard letting go.
Fmaj7
And it's so hard not to cry.
Am7 Fmaj7
With your face that lies, you memorize
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
the reason why.
Am7
And when the love is gone
Dm7
then one of us will know
E7sus4 E7 Am7 D7(9) Am7 D7(9)
it's so hard letting go.
G F#5+
Foolish that I still believe
F13 E7
that love should never die.
E/G# Eb6
It makes me cry to witness
D Gmaj7
where the story ends.
Bb F
All the lovers in the world will
Bb F Gm7
echo all the words that I will leave you,
Bb
When the night is lonely
C D E
only goes to show...
Am7
...that it's so hard letting go.
Fmaj7
And it's so hard not to cry.
Am7 Fmaj7
And I kneel for yesterday,
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7 E/G#
when you were mine.
Am7
And when the love is gone,
Dm7
then one of us will know
E7sus4 E7
it's so hard letting go.
Am7 D7(9) Fmaj7 G A
