             G
Now there's something
        Bm              C
In the sound of her name
         D               G
I can't help feel like crying.
          G               Bm
And that something that I can't quite explain
    C              D                G
It leaves me here feeling like I'm dying.

Chorus:
            Em    C                G
The calm is over long before the storm
            Em    C                G
The calm is over long before the storm
         D
Now the cold winds blow,
C                                              G
Oh I'm going to know what it means to let you go.

Theres just one thing I'd like to say
Before you go and break my heart
Is there nothing I can do to make you stay
If you go you better go before it gets too dark

Chorus

Now there's something
In the sound of your name
I can't help feel like crying

Chorus

Let you go
Let you go
