The Strength To Let Go Chords by Switchfoot

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ I don't like to admit when I'm [E] wrong
You need gifts of [D] forgiveness instead of applause
[F#m] I was dying to prove to [A] myself I could make it [D] alone
_ _ Yeah
[A] It took years to confess that your [E] love was the [A] best
It [D] unraveled in all of my pride
[F#m] Had to laugh at myself when I [A] realized that you were my home
_ Give me the strength to let go _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ Give me the strength to [A] surrender _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ Give me the strength to stop [F#m] holding on
I've been [E] holding on so [D] long
_ _ Give me the strength [A] to let go _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ They show me [A] the way to come home _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ They show me [A] the way to come home _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ Yeah, [A] I'm stubborn and bold but sometimes it gets old
Fighting [D] voices inside of my brain
I was trying to pretend I was [A] fine when inside it was [D] war
_ _ _ _ [A] With a stumbling beat in my [E] heart and my [A] feet
And the [D] thoughts of my failures and pains
To [F#m] think all of this time I had [A] wings that were ready [D] to _ soar
Give me the [A] strength to let go _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ Give me [A] the strength to surrender _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ Give me the strength to [F#m] stop holding on
I've [E] been holding on so [D] long
_ _ Give me the strength to [A] let go _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ They show me the [A] way to come home _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ They show me [A] the way to come _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] home
[D] Oh love, [A] light the way home
Light up my soul
[E] I choose mercy instead of [F#m] control
[A] My life is on loan
Forgiving [E] that girl
[A] I embrace the belief I don't know
[F#m] What a beautiful [A] sound
To let your [E] light shine
Your [F#m] confused [E] and bad
[D] _ _ Cheer in [A] your arms
I finally [E] let go
I am lightning and you are [D] the cold
I _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [F#m] am lightning [E] and you [D] are the _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ cold
Give me [A] the strength to let go _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Won't you give me the [A] strength to surrender _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Come on, give me the strength
[F#m] I've been holding on
I've been [E] holding on so [D] long
Won't you give me the strength to [A] let go _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ Show me [A] the way to come home _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ Won't you show me [A] the way to come _ home _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Show me the way to come home _ _ _ _ _
