Let me down easy
G D Em Bm C D G
Oh, let me down easy, let me down easy, whoa, before you go.
G - D - Em - Bm - C - D - G - D
Ba ba ba....
G D
1. Night and day I’ve been doing the math
Em Bm
to
calculate where we wandered off track,
C D G - D
but I know that this
love was never easy.
G
D
But something’s faded inside
of your heart,
Em Bm
so you’re
crusading to tear us apart,
C D Em - Bm
it’s
clear now, I know you’re gonna leave me.
C D G
So disappear now, I won’t get
in your way !
G D Em Bm C D G - D
Oh, let me down easy, let me down easy, whoa,
before you go.
G D Em Bm C D G - D
Oh, let me down easy, let me down easy, whoa,
before you go.
G D Em
2. Well, how do I begin to convince you to love me
Bm
C
when
you’re a star in the sky up above me,
D G - D
and I’m
too far down below, oh ?
G
D
Your heavy heart has taken its
toll,
Em Bm
you’ve lost all the magic inside of your soul,
C D G
so
sell me a lie before you hit the road.
G D Em Bm C D G - D
Oh, let me down easy, let me down easy, whoa,
before you go.
G D Em Bm C D G
Oh, let me down easy, let me down easy, whoa,
before you go.
G7 C Cm G - G7
+ Whoa, yes, I know you’d
rather run than stay and try,
C Cm
G - G7
’cause I know it’s not much
easier to say good bye.
C Cm
Yes, I know, so if you’ve made
your mind,
Bm Em
take
what you want and get out of my life !
D# D D7
But can you do this one last thing and leave
me with my pride ?
G D Em Bm C D G
Oh, let me down easy, let me down easy, whoa,
before you go.
G D Em Bm C
D G - D
Oh, let me down easy, let me down easy, whoa,
before you go.
