Am  C  Em  F
             Ooh, ooh
Am  C  Em  F

[Verse 1]
Am               C              Em             F
We were sittin' happy on that picket fence we built
Am               C                Em                 F
Time was movin' forwards, but the world was standin' still
Am               C                Em             F
I said it was perfect, but it was too good to be true
Am                 C              Em             F
I don't remember a time before my life was me and you


[Pre-Chorus]
Em  Am C   F
How do you let go
Em Am       C   F
Of all that you ever known?


[Chorus]
     Am                                G
If I have to live a life with words unspoken
   Em                           F
To fall, but never in your arms again
     Am                               G
I'll close my eyes to keep yours wide open
Em                              F
Just so you could find yourself again
                  Am                       G
The fire burns so slow, it'll kill me, you know
                  Em     F
It's hard letting go
                  Am                       G
The fire burns so slow, it'll kill me, you know
              Am      G
Tryna let you go
              Am
Tryna let you go


[Verse 2]
Am                C                  Em             F
You could see the best in me when I told you that I tried
              Am                      C                  Em             F
Oh, yeah, you know it's bad when you take it back ‘cause everything's a lie
    Am                  C              Em           F
And now look where it's got me, I lost everything I had
      Am                      C                 Em           F
And I still don't know what's going on, but I'm doing what I can


[Pre-Chorus]
Em  Am C   F
How do you let go
Em  Am      C      F
Of all that you've ever known?


[Chorus]
     Am                                G
If I have to live a life with words unspoken
   Em                           F
To fall, but never in your arms again
     Am                               G
I'll close my eyes to keep yours wide open
Em                              F
Just so you could find yourself again
                  Am                       G
The fire burns so slow, it'll kill me, you know
                  Em     F
It's hard letting go
                  Am                       G
The fire burns so slow, it'll kill me, you know
              Am      G
Tryna let you go
              Am
Tryna let you go
