I can tell there’s something you don’t wanna tell me
       A                                                             B7   B
Bb A
It’s killing you cause words are hard to find
             A                                            E
I know you want to break it to me gently
                     F#                                        B7      C7 B7
Well sweet baby say what’s on your mind
CHORUS:
                E            E
Let’er rip,   let it fly

Come on baby say it do you think I’m gonna cry
           A                                             E
ain’t about to bawl  I ain’t gonna die
                     B7                                           A
so if you’re gonna say goodbye don't take all damn night
              E            E
let’er rip, let it fly

A
E
Why the drama we don’t have to drag out the situation
                A
B7
It wasn’t you, it wasn’t me, sometimes the chemistry don’t ignite
           A
E
There ain’t no rings, no mortgage there ain't any complications
           F#
B7
Just a hyphenated  word get it out I’m sure I’ll be alright

Chorus:

(bass and drums only)

It ain’t no big deal, it ain’t no great loss
You and I are on the same train of thought
You don't have to tell me where to get off
Maybe I misunderstood you if you leave me baby would ya

Chorus:

               E               E
Let’er rip,   let it fly

Come on baby say it do you think I’m gonna cry
           A                                             E
ain’t about to bawl  I ain’t gonna die
                      B7                                          A
so if you’re gonna say goodbye don’t take all damn night
              E             E
let’er rip, let it fly
                      B7
So if you’re gonna say goodbye
          A
don’t take all damn night
               E             E
Let’er rip  let it fly
