Verse 1:

Bbm                      Fm  Ebm
The more I fight the day
                     Fm Ebm Fm Ebm 
The more it drags on
Bbm                             Fm  Ebm
   And no blues can sing it away
                         Fm Ebm Fm Ebm 
I've just gotta press on
Bbm                              Fm  Ebm
   The more you talk to me, baby
               Fm Ebm Fm Ebm 
The more I cry
Bbm                               Fm  Ebm
   Just leave me quickly, save me
                             Fm Ebm Fm Ebm 
From the darkness you provide

Pre-Chorus:

Ebm
   It's just too hard
   It's just too hard to deal with
C#
   It's just too much
   It's just too much to deal with
Ebm
I had enough
Fm
So hang up on my call


Chorus:

       Bbm
Let me be, let me breathe
                                Fm
Let me get control of my focus
Ebm
I can't take this feeling no more
                                       Fm Ebm Fm Ebm 
Please don't make me love you no more

Verse 2:

Bbm                             Fm
You swore you'd love me forever
Ebm                          Fm Ebm Fm Ebm
   But you'd rather stay away
Bbm                              Fm
   You promised we'd be together
Ebm                           Fm Ebm Fm Ebm
Are you expecting me to wait
Bbm
For an imaginary day
To come and fix this pain
         Ebm                   
Baby I know what you're doing 
                                 Fm Ebm Fm Ebm
And it's a shameful game to play
        Bbm
Who exactly do you think I am
You're not gonna wipe your feet on me
Ebm
Just tell me straight
                          Fm Ebm Fm Ebm
Let there be no mistaking


Pre-Chorus:

Ebm
   It's just too hard
   It's just too hard to deal with
C#
   It's just too much
   It's just too much to deal with
Ebm
I had enough
Fm
So hang up on my call


Chorus:

       Bbm
Let me be, let me breathe
                                Fm
Let me get control of my focus

Bridge:

F#  F   E  F4  
      Oh, woah oh
F#  F   E  F4  
 Ooh, ooh, oh
F#                                F
You know that I don't feel right without you

And you kinda like
E                                        F4           
the option of falling back into my love
Whenever you feel like
F#                                F
Way down, in the shadows I can make out
Just a chink of light
E                                      
But the window's just too high
      F4
Freedom's asking me why I can't make the climb

F#  Fm

Bbm  Fm Ebm            Fm Ebm Fm Ebm Bbm
   Why can't I make it
Bbm            Fm Ebm      Fm Ebm Fm Ebm Bbm
Why you hold on to me

Chorus:

       Bbm
Let me be, let me breathe
                                Fm
Let me get control of my focus
Ebm
I can't take this feeling no more
                                       Fm Ebm Fm Ebm 
Please don't make me love you no more
Bbm
Let me be, let me breathe
                             Fm
Let me get me out from under
Ebm                             
I can't take this feeling no more
                                      Fm Ebm Fm Ebm 
Please don't make me love you no more
Bbm                  Fm  Ebm
    You gotta let me go now
Bbm               Fm Ebm Fm Ebm 
  Let me move on
          Fm Ebm               Fm Ebm Fm Ebm Bbm
Let me be, let me breathe you
