Im Gonna Be Strong

"I'm Gonna Be Strong"

(Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil)

Verse 1:

I can see

You're slipping away from me

And you're so afraid

I'll plead with you to stay

But I'm gonna be strong

Bb C7 F [1: Gm C7]

And let you go your way

Verse 2:

Our love is gone

There's no sense in holding on

'Cause your pity now

Would be too much to bear

So I'm gonna be strong

And pretend I don't care

I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can

Yes, I'm gonna be strong and let you run along

And take it like a man

Coda:

When you say it's the end

I'll just hand you a line

I'll smile and say

Don't you worry, I'm fine

And you'll never know

Darling after you kiss me goodbye

How I'll break down and cry
