[Verse 1]
G C Em
Every mother has to let her child go
D C
Even though it may tear her apart
Am G C
I can hear the lullabies I sang you
Am D G
Now you stand taller than my heart
[Verse 2]
C Em
You know you can break my heart so easily
D C
You can make my day with just a smile
Am G C
One word from you can melt the winter snow
Am D C
Make me forget the longest mile___
[Chorus]
Am D Em Bm
Whatever you're doing for the rest of your life
G C D C
I'm here to tell you, you can count on me
Am D Em Bm
No use my worrying, I know you can fly
C Dm
I've gotta let you go, gotta set you free
G C G
I've gotta set you free
[Verse 3]
C Em
The road we walked was never easy
D C
I know I stumbled on the way
Am G C
I thought I knew what I was doing
Am D G
When I was wrong you had to pay___
[Verse 4]
C Em
I hope by now you can forgive me
D C
And take the good I had to give
Am G C
I was too young to be your teacher

We learned together how to live

Is finding love you know is true___
