I'd love to say, "Yes," but it's best if I don't, though I'd like to

I love you enough that I'm lettin' you go

Gm7                    C                      F     Gm7  C
I wish your change of heart would change my mind
  F
I want to believe you, I'd try us again
     Gm7                        A#            C
If I really believed there was some future in it
