Im Gonna Be Strong

	  		E                          B 
I can see you?re slipping away from me 
           E         G#m7                   A  F#m 
And you?re so afraid I?ll plead with you to stay 
             G#m7   A                    E    B 
I?m gonna be strong I'll let you go your way 
E 
Love is gone 
                    B 
There?s no sense in holding on 
         E        G#m7                    A   F#m 
And your pity now would be than I could  bare 
             G#m7    A                         E 
I?m gonna be strong  I'll pretend that I don?t care 
B                       A                  B 
I?m gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can 
B                       A                     D              B  E  
I?m gonna be strong and let you run along and take it like a man

             G#m    A                    E     
I'm gonna be strong I'll let you go your way 
B                       A                  B 
I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can 
B                       A                    D              B    
I'm gonna be strong and let you go along and take it like a man 
         E 
When you say it?s the end  
     A 
I?ll hand you a line 
E 
I?ll smile and say  
          A  
Don?t you worry I?m fine 
E                F#m          G#m       A           B  
And you?ll never know darling after you kiss me goodbye 
                        E   A   E   A    E 
How I?ll break down and cry cry cry
