  			Intro: Abadd9 Dbadd9/Ab Db/Eb Ab 

Verso 1:
                   Ab                        Db/Ab 
It's three in the morning you're nowhere in sight, 
                Db/Eb                       Ab 
And all that I wanted was to be with you tonight. 
                       Ab                 Db/Ab 
I've watched love get closer and then fade away, 
                Db/Eb                                    Ab 
I've seen you believe in me, I've seen you're trying to stay.  


     Ab/C         Dbmaj7   Eb/Db        Cm7    Fm7 
But what good is holding on     when you know, 
        Bbm7               Eb       Ebm7  Ab 
That all you can think about is letting go. 
                Dbmaj7      Eb/Db         Cm7      Fm7 
They say if you love someone    then set them free, 
                Bbm        Ab/C 
If they'll come back again then in the end, 
Db                 Db/Eb 
  It was meant to be. 

Verso 2:
                   Ab 
I thought we were lovers, 
                 Db/Ab 
I thought we were friends. 
              Db/Eb                         Ab 
I guess when reality steps in the dreaming ends. 
                 Ab    Ab/C 
We live for the future, 
                   Db 
We learn from the past. 
               Db/Eb                              Ab  Ab/C 
No matter how hard we try some good things never last.

All you can think about is letting go.

Be true to yourself my love, 
       Eb/Db                     Cm7 Fm7 
That's all i ever wanted you to be. 
       Bbm7 
Just don't forget to smile, 
Ab              Gb    Db/Eb 
When you think of me. 

Verso 3: 
                      Ab 
I've reached for the star, 
                    Db/Ab 
I have got them in sight. 
                     Db/Eb 
There's someone who really needs me, 
                  Ab 
Out there in the night. 
                 Ab    Ab/C 
We live for the future, 
         Db 
We will learn from the past. 
               Db/Eb 
No matter how hard we try, 
                        Ab Ab/C Db Eb Ab 
Some good things never last.
