Letting You Go
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E A
The nurse helped us buckle the seat in the car
E F# B
And they sent us on our way, I drove home so slow
E A
We had no instructions, the first days were hard
E B E
But there's things about babies a woman just knows
[Pre-Chorus]
E A E F#
Three in the morning I lay my hand over your heart just to know you were safe
B
in your sleep
E A E
When you started walking I fight back the urge to stay right there beside you
B E E7
and keep you on your feet
[Chorus]
A E
Being your daddy comes natural
A E
The roses just know how to grow
A E A
It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going
E B C#m
The hard part is letting you go
E B E
The hard part is letting you go
[Pre-Chorus]
E A E
It didn't take long to see you got the best of me and your momma's merciful
F# B
heart in your eyes
E A E
And helping her raise you has taught me to see through the great fog of
B E E7
loneliness, the devil's disguise
[Chorus]
A E
Being your daddy comes natural
A E
The roses just know how to grow
A E A
It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going
E B C#m
But the hard part is letting you go
E B E
The hard part is letting you go
[Verse 2]
E A
And now you've decided to be someone's wife
E F# B
And we'll walk down the aisle and I'll give you away
E A
I wish I could walk with them back through your life to see
E B E
Every last minute of every last day
E A
To hear your first words and to feel your first heartbreak
E F# B
To sing you to sleep when you're scared of the dark
E A E
The best I can do is to let myself trust that you know who'll be strong enough
B E E7
to carry your heart
[Chorus]
A E
Being your daddy comes natural
A E
The roses just know how to grow
A E A
It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going
E B C#m
But the hard part is letting you go
E B E
The hard part is letting you go
