[Verse 1]
C Fmaj7 G C Fmaj7 GLying on the mattress 'cos my friend's crazy sister took my bed away
C Fmaj7 GSleeping she looked like an actress, in theory and in practice, I said
C Fmaj7 G"There's got to be a better way"
C Fmaj7 GShe said "You light a thousand matches, when you finally set fire,
C Fmaj7 Gwell you run away"
Am Em Fmaj7 G 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 Fmaj7 G C Fmaj7 GI hit the wall in frustration, the conversation had been circling for days
C Fmaj7 GShe said "Don't take it out on him, for the wall has always been
C Fmaj7 Gsupportive in the best of ways"
C Fmaj7 G C Fmaj7 GWe're laughing and crying like mad men dying in the snow
Am Em Fmaj7 G CFor just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C G C Fmaj7 C G CI said "Love, you know I love you so; when you love someone well you've got to let them know."
Fmaj7 C G C Fmaj7 C G CAnd she said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let 'em go"
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
C Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Fmaj7 Gadd11 She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
C Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Fmaj7 Gadd11She said "I'm gonna take this home for I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark
C Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Fmaj7 Gadd11In some faceless hotel room you seem to lose everything you own"
Am Em Fmaj7 G CShe didn't mean it how it sounded, what she meant was she would stay and I would Go
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C G C Fmaj7 C G CI said "Love, you know I love you so; when you love someone well you've got to let them know."
Fmaj7 C G C Fmaj7 C G CAnd she said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let 'em go"
C - C - C - C
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 G C Sometimes you tear it all apart
Fmaj7 G C to see the wood from the trees.
Fmaj7 G C G Am (quick walk down from C to Am)
Sometimes you break your own heart
Fmaj7 G C to set yourself free
[Interlude]
C - Fmaj7 - G
C - C - Fmaj7 - G
Am - Em - Fmaj7 - G
C - C - C - C
[Verse 4]
C Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Fmaj7 Gadd11 I walked her to the station, hesitation in our movements and our tone
C Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Fmaj7 Gadd11Words finally left after they realized how uncomfortable they'd grown
C Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Fmaj7 Gadd11See, what you want and what you need, well they seldomly succeed to grow
Am Em Fmaj7 GWe reluctantly agreed, that when you love someone, you've got to let them go
