[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
