Intro: G  C  G  Em  C  G 

            G 
Now there?s something 
       Bm                C 
In the sound of her name 
        (D)            G 
I can't help feel like crying. 
         G                Bm                  C 
And that something that I can't quite explain 
                                   G 
It leaves me here feeling like I'm dying. 


            Em   C               G 
The calm is over long before the storm 
            Em   C               G

Oh I'm going to know what it means to let you go.

There's just one thing I'd like to say, 
                  (D)      G 
Before you go and break my heart: 
         G             Bm 
Is there nothing I can do to make you stay, 
       C                          (D)      G 
If you go you better go before it gets too dark.
