Capo 4
[Verse1]
[C]Lying on the mattress 'cos [Em]my [Fmaj7]friend's crazy [Gadd11]sister took
my [C]bed away [Em] [Fmaj7] [Gadd11]
Sleeping [C]she looked like an actress, [Em]in [Fmaj7]theory and [Gadd11]in
practice, I said
[C]"There's got to be a better way" [Em] [Fmaj7] [Gadd11]
She said "You [C]light a thousand matches and [Em]you [Fmaj7]finally set
[Gadd11]fire while you
[C]run away [Em] [Fmaj7] [Gadd11]
So [Am]why'd you go and [Em]do it when you [Fmaj7]knew that you would [G]go
and I would stay [C]
I hit the [C]wall in frustration - the con[Em]vers[Fmaj7]ation had been
c[Gadd11]ircling for d[C]ays [Em] [Fmaj7] [Gadd11]
She said "Don't [C]take it out on him, for [Em]the [Fmaj7]wall has always
[Gadd11]been [C]supportive in the best [...Em]of [Fmaj7]ways" [Gadd11]
We're [C]laughing and crying like [Em] [Fmaj7] mad men [Gadd11]dying in the
[C]snow [Em] [Fmaj7] [Gadd11]
For just one [Am]second it was [Em]funny that [Fmaj7]she would have to [G]stay
and I would go. [C]
[Chorus]
She said [Fmaj7]"Love, you [C]know I [G]love you [C]so; when you [Fmaj7]love
someone [C]well you've [G]got to let them [C]know."
And I said [Fmaj7]"Nothing's [C]changed I [G]love you the s[C]ame, but when
[Fmaj7]you love someone [C]sometimes you [G]gotta let 'em go[C]"
[Verse2]
[C] She handed me a stone in [Em]the [Fmaj7]perfect [Gadd11]shape of a heart
[C] [Em] [Fmaj7] [Gadd11]
She said "I'm [C]gonna take this home [Em]for I [Fmaj7]know you'll
on[Gadd11]ly lose it somewhere aft[C]er dark [Em] [Fmaj7] [Gadd11]
In some [C]faceless hotel room [Em]where [Fmaj7]you seem to lose
[Gadd11]everything you own" [C] [Em] [Fmaj7] [Gadd11]
She didn't [Am]mean it how it [Em]sounded, what she [Fmaj7]meant was she would
[G]stay and I would go [C]
I said [Fmaj7]"Love, you [C]know I [G]love you so. [C] When you [Fmaj7]love
someone [C] well you've [G]got to let them know [C]
She said [Fmaj7]"Nothing's [C]changed I [G]love you the [C]same, but when you
[Fmaj7]love someone [C]sometimes you [G]gotta let them [C]go"
[Refrain]
[C] Sometimes [Em]you [Fmaj7]tear it all apart [Gadd11]
[C] to see [Em]the [Fmaj7]wood from the trees. [Gadd11]
[C] Sometimes [Em]you [Fmaj7]break your own [Gadd11]
[C] [Gadd11] [Am]
[Verse3]
(quietly - single plucking / strums)
I [C]walked her to the [Em]station, [Fmaj7]hesitation in our [Gadd11]movements
and our tone [C] [Em] [Fmaj7] [Gadd11]
[C]Words finally left after [Em]they [Fmaj7]realized how [Gadd11]uncomfortable
they'd become [C] [Em] [Fmaj7] [Gadd11]
See, what you [C]want and what you need, well [Em]they [Fmaj7]seldomly
[Gadd11]succeed to grow [C] [Em] [Fmaj7] [Gadd11]
We [Am]reluctantly [Em]agreed that when you [Fmaj7]love someone, you've [G]got
to let them go [C]
