              Simple... but you need to hear the song carefully to know where and when you change 
the chords at the right time... not a problem... 
 
A, E, D, E 
 
A                          E 
You know I always had the strength to fight 
    D                            E 
But I got tired of the wars at night 
A                          E 
Thinking they would end if I gave in 
D                              E 
But I wasn't strong enough... 
 
              A    E 
...To let you win 
           D    E 
To let you win 
        A    E  D  E 
Let you win 
 
A                    E 
I knew the fight but I didn't know the cost 
                    D                            E 
And how to stop the wheels when they're in spin 
A                             E 
I thought you couldn't love a man who'd lost 
      D                        E 
No, I wasn't strong enough... 
 
              A    E  D  E 
...To let you win 
        A    E  D  E 
Let you win 
 
F#m                          D 
It used to scare me to wake up wondering 
   A                                  E 
If I'd forgotten what I was fighting for 
F#m                             D 
You said that you were weak and I was strong 
Bm                              E 
Well, I wasn't strong enough... 
 
              A    E 
...To let you win 
           D    E 
To let you win 
        A    E  D  E 
Let you win 
           A    E  D  E 
To let you win 
 
A, E, D, E 
 
A                          E 
You know I always had the strength to fight 
    D                            E 
But I got tired of the wars at night 
A                          E 
Thinking they would end if I gave in 
      D                        E 
But I wasn't strong enough... 
 
              A    E 
...To let you win 
           D    E 
To let you win 
        A    E 
Let you win
