[F#m] [C#m]
Am I lost to wonder forever?
[A] Perhaps for the rest of [C#m] my days If all that has been surrendered
Will just go to waste You left me out in the distance
To wander this world on my own Sometimes it's so hard to admit it
But [A] I can't let [C#m] go I can't let you go
I
[E] wanna take it [D] all, I wanna take it [C#] all
I [E] know we can't save it [D] all, I know we can't save it [C#] all
Everything is [D] gone, [E] oh I've seen [D] it all, oh I've seen [C#] it all
The fortress is gone, [E] I wanna take it [D] all, I wanna take it [C#] all
[C#m]
[A] One [C#m]
thing I know it's for certain We cannot have all we want
Still this will not stop the hurting It is never gone
Now I hold on to the one thing Too fragile to stand on its own
The fortress we built, it is crumbling Still I can't let go, [C#] I can't let you
[E] I wanna take [D] it all, I wanna take [C#] it all
[E] [D]
[C#] Everything is [G]
[E] gone, oh I've seen [D] it all, oh I've seen [C#] it all
The fortress we built, [E] it is crumbling Still I can't let [D]

[C#] go, [A] I can't let you
There's not enough, there'll come [E] a time You'll regret when it's gone

I suggest starting at a calm pace of 59 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 119.
