[Intro]

Ohhhhhh
Let me down easy, let me down easy, woah, before you go
Ohh, let me down easy, let me down easy, woah, before you go

A augmentedA          E MajorE
Ba ba ba ba-da da ba ba ba

F# minorF#m         C# minorC#m
Ba ba ba ba-da da ba ba ba

D MajorD       E MajorE
Ba ba ba ba-da da ba ba ba

A augmentedA       E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Ba ba ba ba-da da ba ba ba


[Verse 1]

A augmentedA                 E MajorE
Night and day I've been doing the math

F# minorF#m *               C# minorC#m
To calculate where we wandered off track

   D MajorD       E MajorE *      A augmentedA  E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
But I know that this love was never easy

  A augmentedA                E MajorE
But something's faded inside of your heart

  F# minorF#m             C# minorC#m
So you're crusading to tear us apart

     D MajorD      E MajorE *        F# minorF#m *  C# minorC#m
But it's clear now, I know you're gonna leave me

     D MajorD     E MajorE *        A augmentedA
So disappear now, I won't get in your way

[Chorus]

A augmentedA   E MajorE      F# minorF#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

C# minorC#m     D MajorD  E MajorE *       A augmentedA  E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Let me down easy, woah, before you go

A augmentedA   E MajorE      F# minorF#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

C# minorC#m     D MajorD  E MajorE *       A augmentedA  E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Let me down easy, woah, before you go


[Verse 2]

A augmentedA             E MajorE *     F# minorF#m *
How do I begin to convince you to love me

                 C# minorC#m   D MajorD
When you're a star in the sky up above me

      E MajorE      A augmentedA  E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
And I'm too far down below

   A augmentedA            E MajorE
Your heavy heart's taken its toll

    F# minorF#m                C# minorC#m
You've lost all the magic inside of your soul

  D MajorD        E MajorE *       A augmentedA
So sell me a lie before you hit the road


[Chorus]

A augmentedA  E MajorE      F# minorF#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

C# minorC#m     D MajorD   E MajorE *       A augmentedA  E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Let me down easy, woah, before you go

A augmentedA  E MajorE      F# minorF#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

C# minorC#m     D MajorD   E MajorE *       A augmentedA
Let me down easy, woah, before you go

A7A7
Woah Yeah!


[Bridge]

     D MajorD        D7D7         A augmentedA
Cause I know You'd rather run than stay and try

         A7A7
(Ba ba ba ba-da da ba ba ba)

     D MajorD         D7D7     A augmentedA
Cause I know it's that much easier to say goodbye

         A7A7
(Ba ba ba ba-da da ba ba ba)

    D MajorD        D7D7
And I know so if you've made your mind

C# minorC#m            F# minorF#m
Take what you want and get out of my life

FF
But can you do this one last thing

Esus4Esus4         E MajorE
and leave me with my pride


[Chorus]

A augmentedA  E MajorE      F# minorF#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

C# minorC#m     D MajorD   E MajorE *       A augmentedA
Let me down easy, woah, before you go

A augmentedA  E MajorE      F# minorF#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

C# minorC#m     D MajorD   E MajorE *       A augmentedA  E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Let me down easy, woah, before you go


[Verse 1]

A augmentedA                 E MajorE *
Night and day I've been doing the math

  F# minorF#m *              C# minorC#m
To calculate where we wandered off track

    D MajorD       E MajorE *      A augmentedA  E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
But I know that this love was never easy

  A augmentedA                 E MajorE
But something's fading inside of your heart

  F# minorF#m             C# minorC#m
So you're crusading to tear us apart

     D MajorD      E MajorE *       F# minorF#m *  C# minorC#m
But it's clear now, I know you're gonna leave me

     D MajorD      E MajorE        A augmentedA
