Let Me Down Easy

       Bb                Gm
I was running off trying not to fall,
Dm
someone said excuse man you got a call
      Bb            Gm                     Dm
This voice I never heard before was on the other end
            Bb                             Gm
It was the telephone lady and I needed to pay my bill,
     Dm
she said in soft and open trill
   Bb                 Gm                 Dm
I fell so hard but I knew soon she’d be gone again

Eb       F         Bb      Bb/A    Gm
Incoming isolation, thank god for predestination
Eb            F                   Bb
You know me I always take it in stride

[Verse 2]
        Bb                      Gm
Do you wear your hair long, or keep it short,
        Dm
do you live in Utah or off the coast of Cape Horn
          Bb            Gm                     Dm
We could meet up on a drawbridge somewhere in between
    Bb              Gm
Or hell, I’ll just come your way,
           Dm
our first date can be on the Champs-Elysees,
      Bb                     Gm                    Dm
then later you can break my heart on a stranger’s trampoline

Eb       F         Bb      Bb/A    Gm
Incoming isolation, thank god for masturbation
Eb            F                   Bb
You know me I always take it in stride


[Chorus]
Eb                  F                 Bb
  Just let me down easy, let me down good
Bb/A      Gm                      Eb
I saw it coming, even before you could
                F                Bb
So let me down easy and I’ll be gone


[Verse 3]
Bb                    Gm
While I’m off in my unruly dream,
        Dm
you’re talking about some new unlimited plan
         Bb                 Gm
And I’m walkin back to our houseboat on the Thames
Continúa después del anuncio
        Dm
when I found you in bed with another man
   Bb                Gm
I shake my head, I should’ve known,
        Dm
I walk backwards hoping that time will come along
     Bb                   Gm               Dm
You say is there anything else that I can help you with

[Chorus]
(single strums)
Eb                  F                 Bb
  Just let me down easy, let me down good
Bb/A      Gm                      Eb
I saw it coming, even before you could
                F                Bb
So let me down easy and I’ll be gone


[Post Chorus]
Eb                   F                Gm
   But why didn’t you say something,
Gm   Gm/A          Gm/Bb    Bb/F      Eb
    why didn’t you say something,
Eb                 F                   Gm  Gm/A
   why didn’t you say, why didn’t you say

Eb                   F                Gm
   But why didn’t you say something,
Gm   Gm/A          Gm/Bb    Bb/F      Eb
    why didn’t you say something,
Eb                 F                   Gm
   why didn’t you say, why didn’t you say

Gm (3x) then G

Cm                  F          Bb    Bb7    G
  Is there anything else I can do    for    you


[Chorus]
(single strums)
Eb                  F                 Bb
  Just let me down easy, let me down good
Bb/A      Gm                      Eb
I saw it coming, even before you could
                F                Bb
So let me down easy and I’ll be gone


[Post-Chorus]
(Singing Chorus at the same time, as a counter melody)
Eb                   F                Gm
   But why didn’t you say something,
Gm   Gm/A          Gm/Bb    Bb/F      Eb
    why didn’t you say something,
Eb                 F                   Gm  Gm/A
   why didn’t you say, why didn’t you say

    why didn’t you say something,

   why didn’t you say, why didn’t you say

(single strums)

    why didn’t you say something,
Eb                 F                   Bb
   why didn’t you say, why didn’t you say

(Everything stops for a sec)

Bb7

Eb7                                                       Gm
Oh yes one more thing, can I take one more second of your time
           C                      F                       Bb
Totally unrelated, back to those first few years when we dated
   Bb/A        Gm                  C
Oh man what a life, before you got faded,
          F                              Bb
I quit my job and we were ready for the world
    Bb/A         Gm                     C
Oh yes one more thing, one thing on my mind
                  Eb                 Bb
My grandmother’s ring on the 4th of July
     Bb/A       Gm                  C
Keep it if you like, wear it if you may,
              Eb                 Bb
she would’ve liked you better anyway

    why didn’t you say something,
Eb                 F            Bb
   why didn’t you say something else
