C5      F5      G5      C5

Verse 1:
========
          C5                    F5
So much I thought, I'd have to say
                D5                A5
though I try to speak, my meaning strays
          F5                          D5
We can't avoid the facts that brought us here
       G5               C5
I have come to say goodbye

Verse 2:
========
           C5                        F5
The lies I try to tell with my own eyes
          D5                    A5
An act of pride, a wilful compromise
              F5          D5
Please understand how torn I am
       G5              C5
when I walk away from here

Verse 3:
========
    C5                          F5
I lament the moments we won't share
        D5                      A5
If I am far too sentimental, I apologise
            F5                 D5
Please understand, this is who I am
             G5                                     C5
and who I'll still be when I've walked away from here


Bridge:
=======
    F5                 G5
You know - I am not unkind,
       E5                       A5
when I say: in the future, the past is just the past
   F5                         G5
No going back, no change of heart
            C5      G/( E5 )         C/( A5 )
But this is now. Time will not defer

G5

Verse 4:
========
              C5                  F5
My thoughts betray, so easily confess,
               D5                       A5
how long I'll wait here after you have gone
        F5                          D5
Nothing ends but I don't believe that now
        G5                    C5
Please don't walk away from here

Verse 5:
========
       C5                     F5
When alone, when I remember days,
             D5                                A5
nothing will change a single fact of who you were to me
              F5               D5
Oh, come what may, forever to the end
          G5                     C5
I find it so hard to let you go

Outro:
======
F5                G5
Hush now, Let it go now
           E5               A5
There's no need for sad goodbyes
F5                G5
Hush now, Let it go now
  C5          G/( E5 )   C/( A5 )
I know it's time to go
G5                         C5
Time to let this fall from my hands
