so this is just one version that I like.

[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                    E
Ba ba ba ba-da da ba ba ba

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

D              E
Ba ba ba ba-da da ba ba ba

A              E  Esus4 E
Ba ba ba ba-da da ba ba ba


[Verse 1]

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

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

      D              E *            A    E Esus4 E
But I know that this love was never easy

    A                                E
But something's faded inside of your heart

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

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

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


[Chorus]

A     E           F#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

C#m          D    E *              A   E Esus4 E
Let me down easy, woah, before you go

A     E           F#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

C#m          D    E *              A   E Esus4 E
Let me down easy, woah, before you go


[Verse 2]

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

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

            E            A    E Esus4 E
And I'm too far down below

     A                        E
Your heavy heart's taken its toll

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

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


[Chorus]

A    E           F#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

C#m         D     E *              A   E Esus4 E
Let me down easy, woah, before you go

A    E           F#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

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

A7
Woah Yeah!


[Bridge]

         D                D7                 A
Cause I know You'd rather run than stay and try

                 A7
(Ba ba ba ba-da da ba ba ba)

          D                  D7         A
Cause I know it's that much easier to say goodbye

                 A7
(Ba ba ba ba-da da ba ba ba)

        D                D7
And I know so if you've made your mind

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

F
But can you do this one last thing

Esus4                  E
and leave me with my pride


[Chorus]

A    E           F#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

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

A    E           F#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

C#m         D     E *              A   E Esus4 E
Let me down easy, woah, before you go


[Verse 1]

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

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

       D              E *           A    E Esus4 E
But I know that this love was never easy

   A                                  E
But something's fading inside of your heart

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

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

         D            E               A
