Ohhh

Ohhh 

A        E           F#m 
Is not a question of love 
A             E          F#m 
Cause our love has never changed 
D           A                  Bm 
But all the little thinks keep piling up 
D               A              Bm7 
And life keeps getting in the way

Don't make it harder than it is 
Bm 
We both knew it come to this 
C#m 
Better now than in a year  
F#m                                E 
More nights of tears and we'd both hate each other 
D 
The fuse is already lit  
Bm 
So how about a final kiss 
C#m 
Just let it go...

F#m                  E         D   Bm 
And stop the madness before it explodes

Before it's out of our control

Lets stop the madness before it explodes

We gotta let it go 
F#m       E       A 
Before it all explodes 

A             E           F#m 
Somethings we won't understand 
A             E                 F#m 
And we're so tired of being misunderstood 
D            A               Bm 
So lets just turn around and walk away 
D        A               Bm7 
And hold on to what was good

Don't make it harder than it is 
Bm 
We both knew it come to this 
C#m 
Better now than in a year

The fuse is already lit  
Bm 
So how about a final kiss 
C#m 
Just let it go... 

F#m                  E         D   Bm 
And stop the madness before it explodes

Lets stop the madness before it explodes

We gotta let it go 
F#m       E 
Before it all explodes 

D 
There ain't nothing that can save us 
E 
We're just too close to the edge 
F#m 
And what's the use of going on 
         A 
If we're lying to each other 
                      D 
Every word that is said 

Its too late for us now  
Bm7 
Cause we can never count down 
C# 
Its getting close, its gonna blow 

F#m                  E         D   Bm 
Just stop the madness before it explodes

Before it's out of our control 
     F#m              E          D  Bm 
Lets stop the madness before it explodes 
                C#m
