[F#] [E]
[F#] [B] [C#m] [G#m] [E] [B]
[E]
Lying on a mattress cause [A] my [B] friend's crazy sister took [E] my bed away
[A] [E] Sleeping she looked like an actress
[F#] In [B] theory and in practice I said there's [E] got to be a better way
[B] She [E] said you lied to a thousand matches
When you finally [B] said farewell you [E] run away
[A] [B] [C#m] So why'd you [G#m] go and do it
[B] When you knew that you were going I would stay
[E] I hit [E] the wall in frustration
The conversation I'd been circling for days
[F#] She [B] said [E] don't take it out on [F#] him
For the wall has [B] always been [E] supportive in the best of [A] ways
[B]
[E] We're laughing and crying like [B] madmen dying in [E] the snow
[B] For [C#m] just one second it [G#m] was funny that [B] she would have to stay an hour [E] cold
[A] And I said love [E] you, no, I love you so
[A] When you love [E] someone, well you've got to let them know
[A] She said [E] nothing's [B] changed, I love you [E] the same
When you love someone sometimes you've got to let them go
[A] [C#]
[A] [B] [C#m] [G#m] [A]
[E]
She handed me a stone [A] in the [B] perfect shape of [E] a heart
[A] [E] She said I'm gonna take this home
For [B] I know you'll only lose it somewhere [E] after dark
[A] [B] In [E] some faceless hotel room you [B] seem to lose [E] everything you own
She [B] [C#m] didn't mean it how [G#m] it sounded
[A] What she meant was [B] she would stay an hour [E] cold
And I said love you, no, I love you so
When you love someone, well you've got to let them know
She said nothing's changed, I love you the same
When you love someone sometimes you've got to let them go
[A] [B] Sometimes you tear it [E] all apart
[A] To see [B] the wood from [E] the trees
[A] Sometimes you break your [B] own [C#m] heart
To [E] set yourself free
[B]
[G#m] [E]
I walked to the [A] station, hesitation in our [E] movements and our tone
[A]
[B] [E] Words finally left after realising how uncomfortable they'd grown
[A] [B] See [E] what you want and what you need, well, they seldomly [B] succeed to grow
We [A] [B] [C#m] reluctantly [G#m] agreed [A] that when you love someone you've [B] got to let them go
[Bm] [N]
