C 
It was New Year’s Eve 
G 
When this thought occurred to me 
Am 
I might be better on my own 
F 
So I might have to start letting go 
 
C                         G 
I’ll find new things to do 
Am                          F 
I’ll find a life without you 
 
C 
I’m learning how to leave you 
G 
Learning how to breathe without you 
Am 
Learning to be all alone 
F 
Learning to let go 
Letting go 
C 
Walking away on my own 
G 
This is my happy ending 
Am 
All the wounds have started mending 
F 
You’re not always lonely when you’re alone 
N.C. 
Sometimes happiness comes from letting go 
 
C 
I always like time to myself 
G 
Don’t require someone else 
Am 
Don’t need your magical powers 
F 
To mystify me during the late hours 
N.C. 
I found the magic in my heart 
 
C                                  G 
I never needed you in order to be alive 
Am                                   F 
When you’re gone I know I’ll be fine 
 
C 
I’m learning how to leave you 
G 
Learning how to breathe without you 
Am 
Learning to be all alone 
F 
Learning to let go 
Letting go 
C 
Walking away on my own 
G 
This is my happy ending 
Am 
All the wounds have started mending 
F 
You’re not always lonely when you’re alone 
N.C. 
Sometimes happiness comes from letting go 
 
C G Am F 
 
C 
I’m walking away 
G 
Couldn’t think of the words to say 
Am 
Maybe if I left a note 
F 
You’d know I’m drowning trying to stay afloat 
C 
I gasp for just the smallest breath 
G 
I wait every day for some peaceful rest 
Am 
I’m trying to figure out who I am 
F 
I’m just trying to understand 
C 
And in order for me to know 
C* 
I have to start letting go 
 
C 
I’m learning how to leave you 
G 
Learning how to breathe without you 
Am 
Learning to be all alone 
F 
Learning to let go 
Letting go 
C 
Walking away on my own 
G 
This is my happy ending 
Am 
All the wounds have started mending 
F 
You’re not always lonely when you’re alone 
C 
Sometimes happiness comes from letting go 
 
C 
I’m learning how to be happy for you 
G 
Learning not to hold my breath for you 
Am 
Learning to be all alone 
F 
Learning to let go 
Letting go 
C 
Walking away without you by my side 
G 
You’ll get your happy ending 
Am 
The wounds I gave you will start mending 
F 
You’ll never be lonely or even alone 
N.C. 
Sometimes happiness comes from letting go
