so this is just one version that I like.

[Verse 1]
A E*
Night and day I've been doing the math
F#m* C#m
To calculate where we wandered off track
D E* A E Esus4 E
But I know that this love was never easy
A E

But it's clear now, I know you're gonna leave me
D E* A
So disappear now, I won't get in your way
[Chorus]

A E* F#m*
How do I begin to convince you to love me
C#m D
When you're a star in the sky up above me
E* A E Esus4 E
And I'm too far down below
A E
Your heavy heart's taken its toll
F#m C#m
You've lost all the magic inside of your soul
D E* A
So sell me a lie before you hit the road
[Chorus]
A E F#m
Ohh, let me down easy,
C#m D E* A E Esus4 E
Let me down easy, woah, before you go
A E F#m
Ohh, let me down easy,

Let me down easy, woah, before you go
