[Verse]
                A        
If you've got a heartache
                                  Bm
Of the kind that will not pass by ■ 
        Bm                   
Even if you don't see the end
        E                    A
Of what lies around the bend ■
      A            
Don't stay that way
                             Bm
It's all in a day believe me ■ 
                             E7 
Even the best of dreams must end
        D            
Even so it grieves me


[Chorus]
E          Dbm   D       
Stay loose don't fight it
       E    Dbm7            D  
Let it take you all the way and
        E     Dbm7     D       
If it's wrong you will right it
       E     Dbm7        D   
Do not waste these hours away
A                             
How many times have I told you


[Verse]
                              Bm
These are the tears I've shed ■ 
         Bm                 
Could it be that I need help
      E7              A     
Is it maybe I've come undone
    A             
And one thing more
                            Bm
You know it don't come easy ■ 
                              E   
Even the best of friends must part
                   D 
Even so it grieves me


[Chorus]
E          Dbm   Dbm7 D       
Stay loose don't ■    fight it
         E      Gbm    
Let love take a holiday
D       E                        D 
If it's wrong you're gonna right it
       E           Dbm   D    A
Do not waste these hours away ■


[Verse]
                       A   
Soon the storm will be over
                                Bm
And the clouds will all pass by ■ 
      Bm                  
To be insane beyond belief
   E                  A     
Is sometimes the best relief
A                 
And one thing sure
                         Bm
Love never did come easy ■ 
                             E  
Even the best of dreams must end
     E               
Even so it grieves me


[Chorus]
D    E           D       
Stay loose don't fight it
       E        Dbm E          
Let it take you all the way and
D       E                    D 
If it's wrong you will right it
       E     Dbm7  Dbm       
Do not waste these hours away
