SHOULD’VE NEVER LET YOU GO
By: Neil Sedaka, Phil Cody
Key: Bb

 -2  -2  -3* -3* 4 -3* -5
When you walk in-to a room,
 -2   -2  -2   -3* -3*   4   -6 -5
Your beau-ty steals my breath a-way.
-3*  -3*  -5  -5 -6 -3* 7
When you look in-to my eyes,
-6  7  -7* -7  -6  -7  -7* -7 7  7  7-6
I find it hard to find the words to say.
-5  -5  7  7 -6  -6   -6
Wan-na run a-way and hide,
-6 -5* -6 -5* -6  -2   -5
I just got to let you know.
-3*  4   -5  -5* -6 -3*-54-3*4
Feel so tang-led up in- side,
-3*  -3*  4  44*4 -3* -5 -2 -3*   
I should-’ve  nev-er let you go.

-2-2 -3* -3*  4   -3*  -5
An-y-one can make mis-takes,
-2  -2 -3*   -3*   4  -6    -5
And we both have made our share,
-3*-3* -5   -5  -6  -3*   7
But a life with-out your love,
-7-7* -7  -7* -7 7 7   7-6
Is a life too hard to bear.
-5  -5   7    -6   -6-5* -5* -5*
I don't care who's right or wrong,
-6 -5* -6 -5* -6  -2  -5
On-ly know I love you so.
-2  -3* 4  -5 -5*  -6   -3* -54-3*4
Why did I have to write this song?
-3* -3*   4  44*4-3* 4* -2 -3*
I should-‘ve nev-er let you go.

 7
Why?
-5* 7  -7*  -7     7    7
In all the wide, wide world,
  7 -5* 7 -7* -7 -6   7
Have I run in-to you here,
-5*  7  -7*  -7  7   7
Wish I could dis-ap-pear.
 7   -6  -5 4  -3*  3 -5
I'll nev-er un-der-stand,
-5 -6 7  -5  4  -3*4-3*3
Why I ev-en give a damn.

 -2  -2  -3* -3* 4 -3* -5   
When you walk in-to a room,
-2   -2 -2  -3* -3*  4  -6   -5
You know I stand on shak-y ground.
-3*   -3* -3* -5 -5  -6  -3*  7   -6
I've built so man-y walls a-round me,
 7  -7*  -7   -7* -7 7  7    7-6
Now the walls are tumb-ling down.
  -5   -5    7 -6   7   -5* -5*
You're the kind I can't for-get,
-6  -5*  -6  -5* -6  -2  -5
Let the tears be-gin to flow.
-3* 4  -5 -5* -6 -3* -54-3*4
I have on-ly one re-  gret,
-3*  -3*  4  44*4-3* 4* -2 -3*
I should-‘ve nev-er let you go.

   7    7* -7* 8  8    7*-7*7*   
Should-‘ve nev-er let you go,
   7    7*  7 -5* -5*  4  3*
Should-‘ve nev-er let you go,
  -6    7   7* 7  -6   7* 7
Should-‘ve nev-er let you go,
   6   -6*  7 -6*  6   7 -6*   
Should-‘ve nev-er let you go,
