Chorus 1 

                       F
Well you only need the light
                  C
when it's burning low
        G   
Only miss the sun 
                  Am
when it starts to snow
         F    
Only know you love her 
      C    G
when you let her go
                 F   
Only know you’ve been high 
                    C
when you’re feeling low
        G 
Only hate the road 
                    Am
when you’re missin’ home
          F   
Only know your love her 
                    C
when you’ve let her go
G 
And you let her go

Am  F  G  Em

Am  F  G

Verse 1

Am                         F 
Staring at the bottom of your glass.
G                                 Em
Hoping one day you will make a dream last
          Am             F     G 
The dreams come slow and goes so fast
  Am                   F 
You see her when you close your eyes
      G                      Em 
Maybe one day you will understand why
      Am               F    G 
Everything you touch all it dies


Repeat Chorus 1


Verse 

Am                         F
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
   G                  Em 
Same old empty feeling in your heart
    Am                 F    G 
Love come slow and it goes so fast
  Am                  F 
Well you see her when you fall asleep
           G               Em 
But to never to touch and never to keep
                   Am 
Because you loved her to much
           F        G 
And you dive to deep


Repeat Chorus

          Am 
And you let her go
   F     G 
Ooooo  ooooo   oooooo
          Am 
And you let her  go
  F   G 
Ooooooo ooooo   ooooo
                 Am  F  G  Em
And you let her go

Am  F   G


Chorus

                       F
Well you only need the light
                  C
when it's burning low
        G   
Only miss the sun 
                  Am
when it starts to snow
         F    
Only know you love her 
      C    G
when you let her go
                 F   
Only know you’ve been high 
                    C

Only hate the road 
                    Am
when you’re missin’ home

G                   Am
And you let her go
