[Intro]

G D4 Em7 D C


[Verse 1]

G                                      D
There goes my old girlfriend, there's another diamond ring.
         Em                        D     C
And, uh, all those late night promises I guess they don't mean a thing.
   G                           D
So baby what's the story? Did you find another man ?
      Em
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
 D         C                                                   D
  When you don't look back I guess the feeling starts to fade away.
  G                                    Em
I used to feel your fire but now it's cold inside.
 D           C
  And you're back on the street like you didn't miss a beat, yeah.


[Chorus]

Bb                                 F
  Tell me what it takes to let you go.
Bb                                   F
  Tell me how's the pain supposed to go.
Bb               A                Dm            Dm/C
  Tell me how it is  that you can sleep, in the night
         Dm/B
Without thinking you lost ev'rything that was good in your
                             Bb                 Db                 F
life to the toss of the dice?,  Tell me what it takes to let you go,  yeah.


[Verse 2]

G                           D
Girl before I met you I was F.I.N.E, fine
Em                          D     C
But your love made me a prisoner, yeah my heart's been doing time.
   G                           D
You spent me up like money then you hung me out to dry.
Em
It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise,
D         C                                                   D
'Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes.


[Chorus]

Bb                                 F
  Tell me what it takes to let you go.
Bb                                   F
  Tell me how's the pain supposed to go.
Bb               A                Dm            Dm/C
  Tell me how it is  that you can sleep, in the night
         Dm/B
Without thinking you lost ev'rything that was good in your
                             Bb                 Db                 F
life to the toss of the dice?,  Tell me what it takes to let you go... Guitar!

C                                               G

Tell me that my loving didn't mean that much.
                                             C
Tell me you ain't dying when you're crying for me.

 Tell me what it takes to let you . . .
. . . everything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice.
Bb                Db                    F     E7
Tell me who's to blame for thinking twice.    No, no no no.


[Outro]

Bb                    Db            F       Dm
 'Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise.    Oh
Bb                       F
 Let go, let go, let go  I don't wanna burn in paradise.
       Dm                        Bb    F
Let it go, let it go, let it go . . .      (one million times, fading)
