Buddy Miller I'm Gonna Be Strong written by Barry Mann
Cynthia Weil
[E]I can see you?re slipping a[B]way from me
And you?re [E]so afraid [G#m7]I?ll plead with you to [A]sta[F#m]y
I?m gonna be [G#m7]strong [A]I'll let you go your [E]way[B]
[E]Love is gone
There?s no sense in [B]holding on
And your [E]pity now [G#m7]would be than I could b[A]are[F#m]
I?m gonna be [G#m7]strong [A]I'll pretend that I don?t [E]care
[B]I?m gonna be strong and [A]stand as tall as I [B]can
[B]I?m gonna be strong and [A]let you run along and [D]take it like a [B]man[E]
SOLO
I'm gonna be [G#m]strong [A]I'll let you go your [E]way
[B]I'm gonna be strong and [A]stand as tall as I [B]can
[B]I'm gonna be strong and [A]let you go along and [D]take it like a [B]man
When you [E]say it?s the end
I?ll [A]hand you a line
[E]I?ll smile and say
Don?t you [A]worry I?m fine
[E]And you?ll never [F#m]know darling [G#m]after you [A]kiss me good[B]bye
How I?ll break down and [E]cry [A]cry [E]cry[A][E]
