[Verse]
A B E A B
Lying on a mattress cause my friend's crazy sister took my bed away
E A B
Sleeping she looked like an actress in theory and in practice
E A B
I said there's got to be a better way
E
She said you light a thousand matches
A B E A B
When you finally set fire will you run away?
C#m G#m
So why'd you go and do it
A B E B
When you knew that you would go and I would stay?
E A B E A B
I hit the wall in frustration, the conversation had been circling for days
E A B
She said don't take it out on him, for the wall has always been
E A B
Supportive in the best of ways
E A B E
We're laughing and crying like madmen dying in the snow
C#m G#m A B E
For just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go
A E
And I said love, you know, I love you so
A E B
When you love someone well you've gotta let 'em know
A E B E
She said "Nothing's changed, I love you the same
A E
When you love someone, sometimes you gotta let 'em go"
A B E A B C#m G#m A B E A E
A B E A B
She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
E
She said I'm gonna take this home
A B E A B
For I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark
E
In some faceless hotel room
A B E
You seem to lose everything you own
C#m G#m
She didn't mean it how it sounded
A B E
What she meant was she would stay and I would go
A E B E
And I said love, you know, I love you so
A E B E
When you love someone well you've gotta let 'em know
A E
She said "Nothing's changed
B E
I love you the same
A
When you love someone
E B E
Sometimes you gotta let 'em go"
A B E
Sometimes you tear it all apart
A B E
To see the wood from the trees
A B E C#m A
Sometimes you break your own heart
B E
To set yourself free
A B E A B C#m G#m A B E A E
I walked her to the station
A B E A B
Hesitation in our movements and our tone
E A B
Words finally left after realizing
E A B
How uncomfortable they'd grown
E
See, what you want and what you need, well
A B E A B
They seldomly succeed to grow
C#m G#m A
We reluctantly agreed that when you love someone
B E
You gotta let them go
