Let Me Leave

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
{section: Verse 1}
[E]How many times have I come to you
How many t[Fdim]imes have you taken me in
[F#m]How have you never quite realized
That this will be n[A]othing more than what it's been
[E]Why is it that I return to the scene of the cr[Fdim]ime

Though there's nothing I need
Between the m[F#m]oments that linger before us
Haven't you w[B]ondered why I always l[Cdim]eave

{section: Chorus}
[C#m]Let me
Be who I a[E]m   [B/D#]
[C#m]Let me
Leave while I c[E]an  [B/D#]
You know [C#m]love don't find
This sort of m[B]an   [A]
So just l[Am]et me leave
             [E]   [Bm]   {[E]- [Bm] progression 4x}
While I can

{section: Verse 2}
[E]How many times have I come to you
Bleeding and br[Fdim]oken and under attack
[F#m]How can you look in my eyes and my heart
And not s[B]ee that there's something I lack  [Cdim]
[E]Why is it that I'm as bad as I am
But I k[Fdim]now that you'll never bel[C#]ieve
[F#m]Why do you still love me
When all I have d[B]one is to lie and deceive [Cdim]

{section: Chorus 2}
[C#m]Let me
Be who I a[E]m   [B/D#]
[C#m]Let me
Leave while I c[E]an  [B/D#]
You know l[C#m]ove don't find
This sort of m[B]an   [A]

{section: Bridge}
[F#m]Can't give you what you need
And I'm [E/G#]so tired that I can't breathe
And I d[A]on't know if you can see,
But my sh[B]ip is goin' down   [Eb]
And I tr[F#m]ied my best to be a man
So I [E/G#]set you free while I still can
Cause I c[A]an't seem to change who I a[B]m    [Cdim]

{section: Chorus 3}
So just [C#m]let me
Be who I a[E]m    [B/D#]
Oh, oh, [C#m]let me
Leave while I c[E]an   [B/D#]
          C#m  /E   /E    /D#    /C#   {carry walk-down into next line}
You know love don't find
T[Eb]his sort o[C#]f m[B]an   [A]
So just l[Am]et me
               E    Bm     {vamp on the E- Bm progression till end}
Leave while I can
