How Do I Break It To My Heart Chords by Kenny Rogers

[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [G#] _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] There's your picture by the bed.
I'm gonna leave it where it is
Cuz if I tear it up tonight my heart [B] will know
That _
[F#] something ain't right
_ [C#] _ between me and [F#] you
I'm _ [C#] _ _ [B] _
[F#] gonna lie here in the dark and
Pretend you're in [C#] my arms, [F#] and if I can keep from crying out [B] your name _ _
[F#] My heart will think you're here beside [C#] me
Things are still [F#] the same _ _ _ _ _
[B] My mind knows it's over
How do I break it to [F#] my heart?
_ _ _ _ _ [C#]
[D#m] If I let it down easy [G#] it'll still be torn [C#] apart
_ If _ _ _ [F#]
[B] I tell it the truth
_ _ Then the pain is gonna [F#] stop
My [B] _ _ _ [F#] _
[G#m] mind knows [D#m] it's over
[B] But how do [C#] I break it to [F#] my heart?
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [G#m] When [F#] I saw him by your side
I guess it opened up [C#] my eyes and [F#] my ears could finally hear you salt [B] goodbye
But [F#] my heart still said I'm loving you [C#] tonight
And for the rest of [F#] its life
_ [B] My mind knows it's over
But how do I break it to [F#] my heart? _ _
_ _ [C#] If [D#m] I let it down easy
[G#] It'll still be torn [C#] apart
If _
_ _ _ [F#] [B] I tell it the truth _ and the pain [F#] is sure to stop _ _
[B] _ _ [F#] My [G#m] mind knows [D#m] it's over
[B] But how do I [C#] break [F#] it to my heart? _ _ _
[B] How do I break it to [F#] my heart? _ _
