Verse 1
(G major) You (C major) (G major) told me that your 20 years
have gone by much too fast
(C major) And (G major) you've been hoping this
year will be better than the last
(C major) You (G major) said you've been waging a war
against the loneliest of night (C major) s
With the strongest (G major) tricks
and longest lines
It's not that big a surprise
(C major) That you're feeling (F major) more
(C major) dead than alive (G major)
You're (F major) feelin' more (C major) dead than (G major) alive
(C major) So (E minor) I'll let you (D major) know
If (G major) you need (C major) some (E minor) where to (D major) go
I'll (G major) be listenin' (C major) when you call
(E minor) And I'll be there if (D major) you fall off
If you (G major) need (C major) someone to be (E minor) lieve in you
I'll (D major) let you know I will (G major)
(C major) You (G major) said the hole in your head
has gotten bigger
Than the (C major) hole that's in your (G major) chest
And you're stuck between the past
and present tense (C major)
You (G major) said you've been waging a war
Against so many years of (C major) lies
With (G major) stronger drinks and longer lines
It's not that big a surprise
(C major) That you're feeling (F major) more
(C major) dead than alive (G major)
You're feeling (F major) more (C major) dead than alive (G major) (C major)
So (E minor) I'll let you (D major) know
If (G major) you need (C major) some (E minor) where (D major) to go
I'll (G major) be listening (C major) when you call
(E minor) And I'll be there (D major) if you fall off
(G major) If you need (C major) someone to be (E minor) lieve in you
(D major) I'll let you know (G major) I will (C major)
(E minor) I'll (D major) let you know (G major) I will, (C major)
(E minor) I'll (D major) let you know I (F major) will
But some (C major) times,
(D major) you gotta let (G major) it go (C major) (G major) (A minor) (F major)
(C major) Gotta let (G major) it go (C major) (G major) (F major)
(C major) So (G major) this pin is starting to become
(F major) I'll pipe on many song (E minor) s
(C major) an (E minor) (C major) d turn to anthems again
(G major) To everything that's changed
(F major) and to everything that's gone (E minor) away (C major)
(E minor) An (C major) d my condolences (G major) to
the future I never met
(F major) It's gone and never com (C major) ing back (E minor) ,
it's (C major) not coming back
So don't (D major) hold on to your pas (F major) t
You (C major) gotta (D minor) let (C major) it go (G major) (C major) (G major) (F major)
(C major) Gotta (G major) let it go (C major) (G major) (F major) (C major)
(G major) Cause friends leave (C major) as (G major) time fades away
The (A minor) people (F major) and the places
(C major) along the way (G major)
(C major) Without (G major) (C major) a (G major) doubt
As screws (A minor) fall (F major) and (C major) as screws
they fall (D major) (C major) out (G major)
Tomorrow's gonna be smoke
(F major) And I wanna win, I'm alone (E minor)
(C major) Where'd my convictions go?
(G major) So to everyone that's gone away,
(F major) or fades away, or stays (E minor) the same,
(C major) here's my apologies
(G major) To the person that I used to be, (F major)
before I burned down every (E minor) bridge an
(C major) d every inch of everything (D major) I used (C major) to know
(F major) I gotta let (C major) it go (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (F major)
(C major) Gotta let (G major) it go (C major) (G major) (F major) (C major)
Cause (G major) friends be (C major) lieve as
(G major) time fades away
The (A minor) people (F major) an d the places (C major) along the way
Live (G major) out (C major) of (G major) doubt
As screws (A minor) fall (F major) and (C major) as screws
they fall out (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
Friend (G major) s believe as time fades away
The (C major) people and the places along the way
(G major) So (C major) don't (D major) hold on to your pas (C major) t
No, it's (D major) never coming (C major) back (F major)
You gotta let it go
(G major) tired dream (C major) s are (G major) half days away
The people (A minor) (F major) an d places (C major) along the way
Let (G major) it go
Without (C major) a (G major) doubt
Yes, you're a (F major) spoiled and (C major) truthful elf (G major)
(C major) Friend (G major) s we (C major) best (G major) have things the way
The (A minor) people (F major) in the places
(C major) along the way (G major)
(C major) Without (G major) (C major) a (G major) doubt
Yes, (A minor) you're a (F major) spoiled and (C major) truthful elf
Without (G major) a (C major) (G major) doubt
Askew's (A minor) (F major) falling
Askew's (C major) fallout
Without (G major) a (C major) (G major) doubt
Askew's (A minor) (F major) falling
Askew's (C major) fallout
(G major) Without a doubt
Askew's (A minor) falling
(C major) Askew's (G major) fallout
Without a doubt
Askew's falling
(F major) Askew's (C major) day fal (G major) lout
