Capo 1

Intro: C 

verse 1 

The hand is cold that once held mine 
                                                Dm    G7 
I can't believe you've really left this world behind 
      Dm  G7         Dm  G7        Dm   G       C 
I can wait and I can hope I'll get over this in time

It takes time to learn when someone's gone for good 
            G7                   C 
They're not coming back like you wish they would 
       F          G7        C 
In the empty hours when you miss them so 
          Dm               G       C     G   F  G  C 
Then it's time to learn to let them go 

verse 2 

Your last hours I never knew 
                                       Dm    G7 
I never had a chance to say goodbye to you 
        Dm  G7         Dm  G7 
Words unsaid, things undone 
            Dm                G              C 
We'd just begun and now we'll never see them through

                F                            C 
'Cause it takes time to learn when someone's gone for good 
            G7                   C 
They're not coming back like you wish they would 
       F          G7        C 
In the empty hours when you miss them so 
          Dm               G       C     G   F  G  C 
Then it's time to learn to let them go 

             F                            C 
And it takes time to learn when someone's gone for good 
            G7                   C 
They're not coming back like you wish they would 
       F          G7       C 
In the empty hours when we miss them so 
          Dm               G       C     G   F   G   F   C 
Then it's time to learn to let them go
