Chords

[Intro] D G C D [Verse 1]
       G             Em                
Let us talk no more, let us go to sleep,

        C                    
Let the rain fall on the window pane,

    G               D
And fill the castle keep,

     G          Em     
I am weary now, weary to my bones,

C                     
Weary from the travelling,

        G               D
And the endless country roads,

                C                      D
That brought us here tonight, for this weekend,

      G                 C
And a chance to work it out,

       Am                   D                   Em    E
For we cannot live together, and we cannot live apart,

         Am                D                        G     C D
It's the classical dilemma between the head and the heart;
[Verse 2]
       G             Em
She is sleeping now, softly in the night,

    C                         
And in my heart of darkness 

        G             D
she has been the only light,

     G             Em
I am lost in love, looking at her face,

    C                              
And still I hear the voice of reason,

G             D                  C
Telling me to chase these dreams away,

           D
Oh here we go again, 

        G              C
we're divided from the start,

       Am                   D                   Em    E
For we cannot live together, and we cannot live apart,

         Am                D                        G     C
It's the classical dilemma between the head and the heart;

    D            G    C D
The head and the heart
[Verse 3]
        G                Em
Now the dawn begins, and still I cannot sleep,

   C
My head is spinning round 

            G               D
but now the way is clear to me,

         G             Em
There is nothing left, nothing left to show,

    C 
The jury and the judge will see, 

     G               D
it's time to let her go,

             C     D
Now hear the heart:

  G                      C
I believe that time will show,

         Am                     D
She will always be a part of my world,

                       Em  E
I don't want to see her go;

     Am               D        
So I plead my case to hear the heart,

    G  Em 
And stay
[Outro]
     D               G
It's time to let her go

                D       C
I don't want to let her go

     D               G
It's time to let her go

                D       C
I don't want to let her go

     D               Em E
It's time to let her go

            Am                D
And in this classical dilemma,

               G     C D G
I find for the heart.
