Intro: E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E

G#m             F#m
 Please give me one more chance,
G#m                    F#m
 I'm begging you, just one more chance,
            E    Esus4 E Esus4
 If you'll listen...
G#m                F#m
 This is not some movie romance,
G#m              F#m
 Or everlasting love at a glance,
            E    Esus4 E Esus4
 Won't you listen...
B          A
 She is a part of me now,
B                A                G#m
 She's the very heart of me now, so...
         F#m            B         E Esus4 E Esus4
 If you really love her, let her go.

G#m                          F#m
 She's your daughter and I know that you care,
G#m                           F#m
 But like a lost bird in the cold night air,
         E    Esus4 E Esus4
 She is lonely...
G#m                    F#m
 Thinking back to the days you were young,
G#m                              F#m
 When the pain of loving was so very strong,
              E    Esus4 E Esus4
 Weren't you lonely?
B           A
 She is no longer a child,
B                    A                 G#m
 She's a woman with love in her eyes, so...
         F#m            B         E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
 If you really love her, let her go.

      E
 Oh she is like a bird,
           D
 Yearning for the winter wind,
         C
 If you let her go,
                         E       C D
 She'll come again in springtime,
     E
 But if you make her stay,
                D
 And hold her freedom in your hand,
         C
 In the morning you will wake,
                B     E Esus4 E Esus4
 And she'll be gone away...

 She is no longer a child,
B                       A                 G#m
 She's a woman with my love in her eyes, so...
         F#m            B         E Esus4 E Esus4
 If you really love her, let her go,
         F#m            B         E Esus4 E Esus4
 If you really love her, let her go,
         F#m            B         E F#m E F#m A E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
 If you really love her, let her go...
