verse 1 

E 
Sometimes you find out what you wanted 
A 
Isn't really what you need 
E 
And the dream in all its promise 
A 
Was never meant to be 
E 
All your hopes and desperation 
A 
Won't make it like it was 
C#m 
And you believe the pain will never end 
A                      E 
Believe me in time it does 

 E 
You've gotta know when love is over 
             F#m 
You've gotta learn to carry on 
              G#m 
And with the world upon your shoulders 
         C#m 
You walk away when hope is gone 
 E 
When your golden road has reached the end 
     A              E              A 
You find a way to start again you know 
    E      A        E     F#m            E      A  
There's a time for love a time for letting go 


verse 2 

E 
When you're standin' tall tomorrow 
A 
Looking back at yesterday 
E 
Through the memory of your sorrow 
A 
How the dawn was so far away 

E 
You'll be far beyond the shadow 
A 
Where hearts can learn to shine 
 E           C#m         E 
And you'll realize the endless night 
     C#m             A 
Was only a moment in time 

 E 
You've gotta know when love is over 
           F#m 
You've gotta learn to carry on 
             G#m 
And with the world upon your shoulders 
         C#m 
You walk away when hope is gone 
 A       E 
When your golden road has reached the end 
    F#m            G#m               A 
You find a way to start again you know 
   E        A       E     F#m            E      A  
There's a time for love a time for letting go 


Bridge 

      C 
The night is long the night is cold 
        G 
With nothing to believe in 
C 
Just hold on, cause life goes on 
F            G           B7                  E 
Your new day is waiting, let go and let it begin 


 E 
You've gotta know when love is over 
             F#m 
You've gotta learn to carry on 
              G#m 
And with the world upon your shoulders 
         C#m 
You walk away when hope is gone 
 A  E 
When your golden road has reached the end 
    F#m            G#m                A 
You find a way to start again you know 
  E        A        E     F#m              E   A   E   A   E   A   E   A 
There's a time for love a time for letting go
