[Verse 1]
C Gmaj7 F C Gmaj7 FLying on the mattress 'cos my friend's crazy sister took my bed away
C Gmaj7 FSleeping she looked like an actress, in theory and in practice, I said
C Gmaj7 F"There's got to be a better way"
C Gmaj7 FShe said "You light a thousand matches, when you finally set fire,
C Gmaj7 Fwell you run away"
Cm Cm Gmaj7 F CSo why'd you Go and Do it when you knew that you would Go and I would stay
[Interlude]
C - C - C - C
[Verse 2]
C Gmaj7 F C Gmaj7 FI hit the wall in frustration, the conversation had been circling for days
C Gmaj7 FShe said "Don't take it out on him, for the wall has always been
C Gmaj7 Fsupportive in the best of ways"
C Gmaj7 F C Gmaj7 FWe're laughing and crying like mad men dying in the snow
Cm Cm Gmaj7 F CFor just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go.
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 C F C Gmaj7 C F CI said "Love, you know I love you so; when you love someone well you've got to let them know."
Gmaj7 C F C Gmaj7 C F CAnd she said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let 'em go"

C Gmaj7 Fadd11 C Gmaj7 Fadd11 She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
C Gmaj7 Fadd11 C Gmaj7 Fadd11She said "I'm gonna take this home for I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark
C Gmaj7 Fadd11 C Gmaj7 Fadd11In some faceless hotel room you seem to lose everything you own"
Cm Cm Gmaj7 F CShe didn't mean it how it sounded, what she meant was she would stay and I would Go
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 C F C Gmaj7 C F CI said "Love, you know I love you so; when you love someone well you've got to let them know."
Gmaj7 C F C Gmaj7 C F CAnd she said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let 'em go"

[Bridge]
Gmaj7 F C Sometimes you tear it all apart
Gmaj7 F C to see the wood from the trees.
Gmaj7 F C F Cm (quick walk down from C to Cm)
Sometimes you break your own heart
Gmaj7 F C to set yourself free
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
C Gmaj7 Fadd11 C Gmaj7 Fadd11 I walked her to the station, hesitation in our movements and our tone
C Gmaj7 Fadd11 C Gmaj7 Fadd11Words finally left after they realized how uncomfortable they'd grown
C Gmaj7 Fadd11 C Gmaj7 Fadd11See, what you want and what you need, well they seldomly succeed to grow
Cm Cm Gmaj7 FWe reluctantly agreed, that when you love someone, you've got to let them go
