  I don't know why it should be so hard    giving up this circle dance
C          F          G        C             F      G7
  Worn out steps from long ago    don't give love a chance

     C                          F G          C                F      | G G7 |
It's a bitter heirloom that I'm handed down,    these twisted parts we play
C         F       G7         Am   C             F      | G G7 |
  I'm not her and you're not him,    just comes out that way

C  x32010

F        G7      C           Am              F        G7   C
Can't go back to make things right, though I wish I'd understood
F        G7          C       Am   F            G7      C
Time has made things clearer now,   we did the best we could

  "I'll be home soon", that's what you'd say   and a little kid believes
C         F        G               C           F          G7
  After a while, I learn that love   must be a thing that leaves

C            F            G                     C       F     | G G7 |
  I tried so hard just to hold you near, was as good as I could be
C    F      G7      Am    C               F      | G G7 |
Even when I had you here,   you stayed so far from me


[repeat CHORUS]

C          F          G                   C      F    | G G7 |
  Now that this has occurred to me, but I wanted you to know
C               F        G7     Am         C       F     | G G7 |
  I've been too faithful all my life, it's time to let you go


[Organ intrumental over 1st line CHORUS chords]


ENDING:
F        G7          C       Am   F            G7      C
Time has made things clearer now,   we did the best we could
     C       F       G7  F               C
It's time to let you go, time to let you go
