Tom: C
C Dm G
The love we had was so nice
C
I feel so terribly sorry
Dm G
And now I'm paying the price
C
I'm just so terribly sorry
Dm G
Why does it hurt me so bad
C Am
I only learn when I'm burning
Dm G
And now it's making me sad
C
'Cause I know you're not returning so
[Chorus]
G
Why don't you go
Am
Why don't you go
F G C
If you have to live your life
G
I'll let you go
Am
I'll let you go
F G C
If you have to live your life
[Verse 2]
C Dm G
Look how far we have come
C
It all seems so unnecessary
Dm G
Before the pain there was fun
C
And there was nothing to worry
Dm G
Some things are hard to understand
C Am
The reasons for your departure
Dm G
With no destination no plan
C
But I know if you stayed it'd be harder, all right now:
[Chorus]
G
Why don't you go
Am
Why don't you go
F G C
If you have to live your life
G
I'll let you go
Am
I'll let you go
F G C
If you have to live your life
[Bridge]
Am
Dogs bark louder
F
Trees grow stronger
C G
When there's peace at mind, oh
Am F G
The ocean waters will be calmer now
[Instrumental]
Dm G C Am
Dm G C Am
[Verse 3]
C Dm G
Just look how far we have come
C Am
I feel so terribly sorry
Dm G
And I put it down on a song
C
So I can erase the memories, everybody now:
[Chorus]
G
Why don't you go
Am
Why don't you go
F G C
If you have to live your life
G
I'll let you go
Am
I'll let you go
F G C
If you have to live your life
G
Why don't you go
Am
Why don't you go
F G C
If you have to live your life
G
I'll let you go
Am
I'll let you go
F G C
If you have to live your life
[Outro]
Am F G C
The ocean waters will be calmer now
