When You Let Me Go (Cosa Resterà Degli Anni '80)

When I saw you smiling
Not too long ago
Everything was brighter
How was I to know?
That before too long you'd be changing
Someone else was there
Now you must confess that it's so much less
Than you once used to care

You can tell me that I'm crazy
But you [A7know it's tɾue
I don't want to [C7]wait till tomorrow
So tell me what to [C7]do
But if you're taking for [Dm7]granted
That I came here to [C7]stay
Sorry baby but now you're wrong
I have to [C7]say

When you [A7let me go
I'll be [Am]gone forever
If you [A7let me know
Things can't be [Am]the same
When you [A7let me go
Then it's now or never
If you [A7let me know
I'll forget your name

Some people say that it happens
Like a stɾange disease
Nobody knows what the cure is
You're just down on [C7]your knees
And I still can't help believing
Soon [C7]we'll both be [Am]fine
But then I guess now there's someone else
Out there who holds the line

Why did you [A7think we could make it
And why did you [A7tell me so?
Now it's time for [Dm7]you [A7to [C7]say
"I plan to [C7]let you [A7go"
Even if it's harder than ever
And that's the price you [A7pay
Late is better than never you [A7know
So please tell me today

When you [A7let me go
I'll be [Am]gone forever
If you [A7let me know
Things can't be [Am]the same
When you [A7let me go
Then it's now or never
If you [A7let me know
I'll forget your name
