Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  still remember the night  we met
You  said you loved  my smile
But  your love for me was like a summer  breeze
Oh  it lasted  for awhile
I  could hold on a little tighter  I know
 But when you love  someone, you gotta let  em go,  so
 I'm gonna smile,  cause I wanna  make you happy
Laugh,  so you  can't see me cry
 I'm gonna let  you go in style
 And even  if it kills me,  I'm gonna smile
 Kiss me once for the good times baby
 Kiss me twice for goodbye
 You can't help how you don't feel
 And it doesn't matter why
 Give me a chance to bow out gracefully
 Cause that's how I want you to remember me
 I'm gonna smile,  cause I wanna  make you happy
Laugh,  so you  can't see me cry
 I'm gonna let  you go in style
 And even  if it kills me,  I'm gonna smile
 I'm gonna smile,  so you  can find the courage
Laugh, so you won't see  me hurtin'
 I'm gonna let  you go in style
 And even  if it kills me,  I'm gonna smile
 The intro and coda (outro) of this song has what
 sounds like a G/F, which is between the G and Em.
 As both of these parts are piano and the Fnote
 is not very noticeable, I have left it off. If you
 want to play it, either play a barre G, then slide
 your index finger down to the second fret F, or
 try this one for the G/F:
xx4433
 If using that G/F, you may find it best to play this G:
xxx433
 Alternately, you may also opt not to play the G/F-
 just let the G chord ring over the G/Fand then play
 the Em when it comes up. If someone figures out a
 different or better way to do it, please pass it along.
