about

This is a song about love which no longer exists. When that happens it's usually best just to let it go.

lyrics

PARTING SHOT (Elliott C. Michaels)

Folk-rock in D (30 measures per minute)

D A7 D

D G
I still remember long ago, when we began this mad affair,

D A
We thought the world was ours to take, but then, what did we know?

D G
And now it's time to face the fact that we have nothing left to share,

D A7 D
It's all over, so just accept it and let it go.

D G
I gave it everything I had, and perhaps you did the same,

D A
But now our love has drifted away like a leaf in a river's flow.

D G
No cause to argue who's at fault, no need to hang your head in shame.

D A7 D
It's simply over, so don't be bitter, just let it go.

Bm F#m
They say that if at first you fail, you should try and try some more,

G A
But when something's wrong it's wrong, and it's not worth fighting for.

D G
Our love was once a shining ray, but now there's darkness head to toe,

D A7 D
It's all over, why throw a tantrum? Just let it go.

D G D A

D G D A7 D

Bm F#m
They say that everything must change, but you know it's not that way,

G A
Because when something's wrong it's wrong, and it's best to call it a day.

D G
Let's forge ahead and not look back, and maybe then we both can grow.

D A7 D G
It's all over, cut out the swearing, and let it go, oh, yeah.

D A7 D D (hold for coda)
It's finally over, so stop your crying, and let it go! Let it go!
