[Verse]
  Bm            A
Quiet, smiling friend of mine
C#m    F#m       D
Thrown into our lives
Bm       A
You gave everything you could
C#m    F#m          G
Saw through our disguise

Bm

[Chorus]
  E       A   Bm A         D
I had to stay I could not leave
       F#m      E       D
Give me time so I can breathe
       F#m      E     D
Give me time to be at ease

[Verse]
Bm              A
Patiently, you watched us play
C#m      F#m        D
Parts you'd seen before
Bm             A
Even then, we sometimes asked
C#m       F#m     G
What you keep us for

A

[Verse]
Bm          A
Caught between the tangled web
C#m        F#m     D
You helped set us free
Bm                A
Sadly, then, you lost yourself
C#m    F#m     G
So you had to leave

A  Bm

[Chorus]
    E      A   Bm A     D
And I must go, be on my way
       F#m    E     D
Let me go, I cannot stay
       F#m    E       D
Let me go, I must not stay

Let me go, I cannot stay
