[Verse 1]
G                          C          Em
Every mother has to let her child go
               D             C
Even though it may tear her apart
Am             G         C
I can hear the lullabies I sang you
Am                             D    G
Now you stand taller than my heart


[Verse 2]
                                   C       Em
You know you can break my heart so easily
                   D            C
You can make my day with just a smile
Am       G                C
One word from you can melt the winter snow
Am                            D     C
Make me forget the longest mile___


[Chorus]
                Am            D            Em    Bm
Whatever you're doing for the rest of your life
                      G                C   D  C
I'm here to tell you, you can count on me
          Am          D            Em    Bm
No use my worrying, I know you can fly
                   C                 Dm
I've gotta let you go, gotta set you free
                   G      C   G
I've gotta set you free


[Verse 3]
                       C           Em
The road we walked was never easy
         D        C
I know I stumbled on the way
Am          G               C
I thought I knew what I was doing
Am                             D    G
When I was wrong you had to pay___


[Verse 4]
                      C           Em
I hope by now you can forgive me
             D             C
And take the good I had to give
Am    G                    C
I was too young to be your teacher
Am                           D    C
We learned together how to live


[Chorus]
                Am            D            Em    Bm
Whatever you're doing for the rest of your life
                      G                C   D  C
I'm here to tell you, you can count on me
          Am          D            Em    Bm
No use my worrying, I know you can fly
                   C                 Dm
I've gotta let you go, gotta set you free
                   G      C   G   C   G
I've gotta set you free


[Verse 5]
                        C       Em
I only hope you will be happy
           D             C
I want the very best for you
    Am        G                 C
The only prize that's worth the battle
   Am                          D     C
Is finding love you know is true___


[Chorus]
                Am            D            Em    Bm
Whatever you're doing for the rest of your life
                      G                C   D  C
I'm here to tell you, you can count on me
          Am          D            Em    Bm
No use my worrying, I know you can fly
                   C                 Dm
I've gotta let you go, gotta set you free


[Chorus]    (fade to end)
                Am            D            Em    Bm
Whatever you're doing for the rest of your life
                      G                C   D  C
I'm here to tell you, you can count on me
          Am          D            Em    Bm
No use my worrying, I know you can fly
                   C                 Dm
I've gotta let you go, gotta set you free
