    C            C/E
We had a kind of love
               Am        G/B  C
I thought that it would never end
       Dm          C              G
Oh my lover, oh my other, oh my friend
   Am                C/E
We talked around in circles and
   Am            G/B   C
We talked around and then
  Dm                C              G
I loved you to the moon and back again

         F           Em   Am      G
You gave everything this golden glow
     F                 C                   G
Now turn off all the stars, 'cause this I know

Chorus:
         Am   G/B   C
That it hurts like so
    C            F G
To let somebody go

All the storms we weathered
Everything that we went through
Now without you, what on earth am I to do?
When I called the mathematicians and
I asked them to explain
They said love is only equal to the pain
And when everything was going wrong
You could turn my sorrow into song

And when everything was going wrong
You could turn my sorrow into song

Chorus:
       Am   G/B   C
Oh it hurts like so
    C            F G
To let somebody go
    C            F G
To let somebody go

  Am G/B C C/E F C/G G
Oh
  Am G/B C C/E
Oh
F             C/G G
(Let somebody,   let somebody go)
C                    C/B
Oh, when you love somebody
F
When you love somebody
G
Got to let somebody know
C                    C/B
Oh, when you love somebody
F
When you love somebody
G
Got to let somebody know
Am C                 C/B
So when you love somebody
F
When you love somebody
G        Em        Dm
Then it hurts like so

Chorus:
   Am G/B C C/E F
To let somebody go
C/G G
It hurts like so
   Am G/B C C/E F
To let somebody go
G
But you're still with me now, I know

Am G/B C C/E F
            (Let somebody)
C/G G
   (let somebody go)
G Am G/B C
Oh
C/E F
   (Let somebody)
C/G G
   (let somebody go)
G
But you're still with me now, I know
