 G                      C                G D C 
 It's the third hardest thing I'll ever do
         G    D        G 
 leaving here without you
 G                      C            G  D C 
 and the second hardest thing I'll ever do
            G   D       G 
 is telling her about you
 Am                   
 she's been good to me
 G                           
 when things were going rough
 Am                       D                    
 how can I tell her now, good ain't good enough
     G                      C            G D C 
 oh, the hardest thing I've ever had to do 
            G        D        G 
 is holding her, and loving you

 G                          C            G  D C 
 if she'd give me one good reason I'd be gone
           G      D        G    
 she ain't done, one thing wrong
 G                          C            G  D  C 
 so don't expect me to just walk out of the door
              G    D                G 
 I still love her, but I love you more
 Am                   
 she's been good to me
 G                              
 when things weren't going right
 Am                    D                        
 she made my days long before you made my nights
 G                          C            G D C 
 so, the hardest thing I've ever had to do 
            G        D       G 
 is holding her, and loving you
 
 G C G D G C 
       
 G                            C            G D C 
 yeah, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
           G        D      G  
 is holing her, and loving you
 G                            C            G D C 
 girl, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
            G        D      G  
 is holding her, and loving you
