Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][D][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]There goes my old girlfriend,
there's [D]a nother diamond ring
And [Em]all those late night pro[D]mises,
[C]I guess they don't mean a thing
So [G]baby, what's the story?
Did [D]you find another man?
Is it [Em]easy to sleep
in the bed that we [D]made?
When you [C]don't look back
I guess the feelings start to fade [D]away
I [G]used to feel your fire
but now it's [Em]cold [D]inside
And you're [C]back on the street

[Chorus 1]
like you didn't miss a beat, yeah
[Bb]Tell me what it takes to let you go[F]
[Bb]Tell me how the pain's supposed to go[F]
[Bb]Tell me how it is[A]
that you can [Dm]sleep in the [C]night
Without [G]thinking you lost
everything that was good
in your life to the toss of the dice?
[Bb]Tell me what it take[Db]s to let you go, y[F]eah

[Verse 2]
[G]Girl, before I met you, I [D]was F.I.N.E. fine
But your [Em]love made me a pri[D]soner,
[C]yeah my heart's been doing time
You [G]spent me up like money
then [D]you hung me out to dry
It was [Em]easy to keep all your lies in dis[D]guise
'Cause you [C]had me in deep

[Chorus 2]
with the devil in your eyes
[Bb]Tell me what it takes to let you go[F]
[Bb]Tell me how the pain's supposed to go[F]
[Bb]Tell me how it is[A]
that you can [Dm]sleep in the [C]night
Without [G]thinking you lost
everything that was good
in your life to the toss of the dice?
[Bb]Tell me what it take[Db]s to let you go[F]

[Solo 1]
[C][Dm][C][Bb]
[F][C][Dm][C][Bb]

[Bridge 1]
[C]Tell me that you're happy,
that you're on your [G]own, yeah, yeah, [Bb]yeah
Tell me that it's better when you're all a[F]lone
[Fm]Tell me that your body
doesn't [Eb]miss my [Db]touch
Tell me that my lovin' didn't [Eb]mean that [Ab]much
Tell me you ain't dyin'
when you're cryin' for [C]me

[Chorus 3]
[Bb]Tell me what it takes to let you go[F]
[Bb]Tell me how the pain's supposed to go[F]
[Bb]Tell me how it is[A]
that you can [Dm]sleep In the [C]night
Without [G]thinking you lost
everything that was good
in your life to the toss of the dice?
[Bb]Tell me who's to blame[Db] for thinkin' twic[F]e
[Bb]'Cause I don't wanna burn [Db]in paradise[F]

[Outro 1]
[Dm][Bb]
Let it [F]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [Dm]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [Bb]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [F]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [Dm]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [Bb]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [F]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [Dm]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [Bb]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [F]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [Dm]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [Bb]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [F]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [Dm]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [Bb]go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it [F]go
