Bittersweet goodbye

Verse 1 G D/F# I never thought we’d stand at this crossroad, Em7 Cadd9 Didn’t want it ending this way. G D/F# But sometimes love just runs out of runway, Em7 Cadd9 No matter how bad we wanna stay. G D/F# I held on tighter than I should, Em7 Cadd9 D But letting go is what we’ve gotta do. Chorus G D/F# It’s a bittersweet goodbye, I have to let you go, Em7 Cadd9 You’ll always take up space, deep in my soul. G D/F# I love you more than words will ever show, Em7 Cadd9 But I can’t hold you close if it keeps us from hope. G D/F# We both need our peace, we both need to heal, Em7 Cadd9 D G Just know from here on forward, my love is real. Verse 2 G D/F# I don’t wanna walk this road without you, Em7 Cadd9 But we can’t keep dragging the chain. G D/F# The hardest kind of love is surrender, Em7 Cadd9 When staying just brings us more pain. G D/F# So take my blessing, take my prayer, Em7 Cadd9 D Carry my heart with you everywhere. (Repeat Chorus) Bridge (big lift, full band comes in) Em7 D/F# And if you ever call my name, G Cadd9 I’ll be right here, nothing’s changed. Em7 D/F# Time and distance can’t erase G Cadd9 D The fire we lit, the love we shared. Final Chorus (full power) G D/F# It’s a bittersweet goodbye, I have to let you go, Em7 Cadd9 You’ll always take up space, deep in my soul. G D/F# I love you more than words will ever show, Em7 Cadd9 But I can’t hold you close if it keeps us from hope. G D/F# We both need our peace, we both need to heal, Em7 Cadd9 D G Just know from here on forward, my love is real. Outro (fade on strummed G–D/F#–Em7–Cadd9 progression) Yeah, you’re loved, always will be… Even if it’s a bittersweet goodbye.
