Break It To Me Gently

[Bb] [C] [D]

[D]Did you think that your[Dm7] smile
[G]Could hide what's on your
mind?
[Bm]No matter how I tried
[G]I just couldn't be so blind
We've been cl[D]ose but
[Dm7]people grow
[G]and they sometimes growapart
[Bm]The're just one thing
I ask you
If you've had a chance o[Em]f heart

And [G]break it to me gentl[A]y
I[F#m]f ya have to, then [A]tell me lies
Bre[Em]ak it to me gentl[A]y
At least leave m[D]e with my
[D7]pride
[G]Try to spare my fe[A]elings
If the[F#m] feelings have to[Bm] die
B[Em]reak it to me gently
If you have t[G]o say         [A]
[Bb]goo[C]db[D]ye

[D]I'm not ashamed to [Dm7]admit
[G]I really hurt inside
A[Bm]fter all these are my feel[E]ings
Why s[Em]hould I make them [A]hide?

But[D] I won't hold you b[Dm7]ack,
T[G]here'll be no pulling on you

sleev
Jus[Bm]t let me down [E]easy
And go soft[Em]ly when you
l[A]eave
(repeat chorus)
[D]goodbye....

Y[Bm]ou always knew that you had
m[F#m]y heart
It[Em]'s still your's, if [A]you wanna
t[Bm]ake it
But when you go, I k[F#m]now you
must
[E]Be gentle with you b[A]reakin[B]g
[F#m]Break it to my genlty[B]
At least leave me wi[E]th my
p[E7]ride
Tr[A]ust me and my feeli[B]ngs
If the fee[Abm]lings have t[C#m]o die
Br[F#m]eak it to me g[Abm]ently
If you [A]have to sa[B]y
[E]go[F#7]odbye
[F#m]Break it to me [Abm]gently
If you have[A]to sa[B]y
[C]go[D]od[E]bye.
