[Verse 1]
Am                         F                G
 I didn't like you when I first met you, but then you grew on me
Am                     F                  G
 I've got a tendency to like the wilder ones
Am                           F                G                  E
 Haunted by demons you were going through hell, I wanted you to be free
F                          C               Dm
 I didn't know if I could help or not, but I wouldn't flee


[Chorus]
Dm                           Am            C      G
Now when I reach out in the dark, I don't feel you
Dm                   Am            C   G
Have we crossed the point of no return?
        Dm                    Am      C    G
I wanna be loud and clear in that I miss you
           Dm                         Am               C             G
But now I guess I understand that to truly love you I had to let you go

[Verse 2]
Am                     F                   G
 Do you remember that night in the basement I walked in on you?
Am                     F                   G
 Gun at your head and finger on the trigger, I knew what you would do
Am                            F             G                 E
 We talked for hours and the tears came down, you needed an escape
F                              C                 Dm
 I'm glad you didn't end your life that day in spite of all that weight


[Chorus]
Dm                           Am            C      G
Now when I reach out in the dark, I don't feel you
Dm                   Am            C   G
Have we crossed the point of no return?
        Dm                    Am      C    G
I wanna be loud and clear in that I miss you
           Dm                         Am               C             G
But now I guess I understand that to truly love you I had to let you go
