[Opening]
[Bb]Day after day that [Bb]time passed away
[Eb]And I just can’t get you [F]off my mind
[Bb]Nobody knows, I [Bb]hide it inside
[Eb]I keep on searching but [F]I can’t find

[section 2]
The [Dm]courage to show to [Gm]letting you know
[Cm]I’ve never felt so much [F]love before
And [Eb]once [F]again. I’m [Dm]thinking about [Gm]
[Cm]Taking the [Eb]easy way out [F]

[chorus]
But if i [C]let you go, I will [Am]never know
What my [F]life would be, Holding you [G]close to me
Will I [Am]ever see, you smiling [F]back at me
[Dm]How will I know [Fm], If [C]I let you go

[section 3]
[Bb]Night after night, I [Bb]hear myself say
[Eb]Why can’t this feeling just [F]fade away
There’s [Bb]no one like you, who [Bb]speaks to my heart
[Eb]It’s just a shame, we’re [F]worlds apart

[Closing]
I’m [Dm]too shy to ask, I’m [Gm]too proud to lose
But [Cm]sooner or later, I’ve [F]gotta choose
And [Eb]once [F]again i’m [Dm]thinking about [Gm]
[Cm]Taking the [Eb]easy way out [F]
