G  Em  D  C (repeat 1x)

Verse 1:
G                    Bm
I still remember the night we met
C            D        G     D  C
You said you loved my smile
G                               Bm
But your love for me was like a summer breeze
C     A/C#       Dsus   D
Oh it lasted for awhile
Em                       Bm
I could hold on a little tighter I know
             C                       Dsus   D
But when you love someone, you gotta let em go, so

Chorus 1:
          G              C              
I'm gonna smile, cause I wanna make you happy
G         C                B
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
          Em            A7
I'm gonna let you go in style
    C                   Dsus D           G    Em  D  C
And even if it kills me,       I'm gonna smile

Verse 2:
Kiss me once for the good times baby
Kiss me twice for goodbye
You can't help how you don't feel
And it doesn't matter why
Give me a chance to bow out gracefully
Cause that's how I want you to remember me

Chorus 2:
          G              C              
I'm gonna smile, cause I wanna make you happy
G         C                B
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
          Em            A7
I'm gonna let you go in style
    C                   Dsus D           F#    Am  Em  Dsus  D
And even if it kills me,       I'm gonna smile


Coda:
          G         C
I'm gonna smile, so you can find the courage

G      G * F# * E5    C      B
Laugh, so you won't see me hurtin'
          Em            A7
I'm gonna let you go in style
    C                   Dsus  D           G   
And even if it kills me,        I'm gonna smile

Em  D  C  G  Em  D  C  G


The intro and coda (outro) of this song has what
sounds like a G/F#, which is between the G and Em. 
As both of these parts are piano and the F# note
is not very noticeable, I have left it off. If you
want to play it, either play a barre G, then slide
your index finger down to the second fret (F#), or
try this one for the G/F#: 

xx4433

If using that G/F#, you may find it best to play this G:

xxx433

Alternately, you may also opt not to play the G/F# -
just let the G chord ring over the G/F# and then play
the Em when it comes up. If someone figures out a
different or better way to do it, please pass it along.
