Lyrics

We (C)had a kind of love, I thought that it would nev er end.

Oh, my (D)lov er, oh, my (C)oth er, oh, my (G)friend.

We (A)talked a round in cir cles and we talked a round, and then

I (D)loved you to the moon and back a gain.

You gave (F)ev ’ry thing

this gold

en glow.

Now, (F)turn off all the stars, ’cause this I (G)know:

that it hurts

like (C)so

to (A)let some bod y go.

(C)All the storms we weath ered, ev ’ry thing that we went through.

Now with (D)out you, what on earth am I to do?

When I (A)called the math ’ma ti cians and I asked them to ex plain,

they said, (D)“Love is on ly e qual to the pain.”

And when (F)ev ’ry thing

was go

ing wrong,

you could (F)turn my sor row in to song.

Oh, it hurts

like (C)so

to (A)let some bod y go,

to (A)let some bod y go.

Oh.

Oh.

know.

Oh.

When you love some bod y,

when you love some bod y

got to let some bod y some bod y (A)know.

So,

when you love some bod y,

when you love some bod y,

then it hurts

like (D)so

to (A)let some bod y go.

It (G)hurts like (G)so

to (A)let some bod y go.

But you’re still (G)with me now, I know.

Oh.

But you’re still (G)with me now, I know.
