   A
My heart starts breaking
  Dm 
When I think of making
    D               Dm 
A plan to let you go
              A          F#m   Bm
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
                    E
I'm gonna let you know
              C#m
But I when I think about leaving
   F#m
I think about losing
    Bm
The only love I ever knew
E7
Every time I think of you

Chorus:
    A
My heart starts aching
     Dm 
My hands keep shaking
          D                   Dm 
And you know, you know, you know
                   A           F#m
It would take a strong, strong man
D  C#m   Bm      A      Bm         C#m
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
D  C#m   Bm      A  D
To ever let you go

My heart's been hurting
When I see you flirting
Every night out on the floor
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
You'll grow to love me more
But whenever we're together
I could leave you never
Even though you treat me cruel
Every time I look at you

Chorus:
My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know
It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
To ever let you go

F#m
I tried to resist you
When you're gone, all I ever do is miss you
           E
Anyone in love would know
             D
Anyone with half a heart
       E             A
Could never let you go

But I, when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only girl I ever loved
Can't you tell me why do you hurt me
I guess some people never see
Especially a fool like me

My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know
It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
To ever let you go
To ever let you go
I'll never let you go
(To ever let you go)
