Intro: CEmAmG
Chorus:
CEm
I just wanna life that seems a little better than a dream
AmG
But I just canʼt seem to get on my feet
CEmAm
So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
G
Iʼll hope someday that you will know
Verse:
C
I sit back and think about the life Iʼve had
Em
So much to change but I canʼt go back
Am
What happened to that kid? He used to play in the street
G
I think about that kid, he looked just like me
C
Had a smile, had a home, never grow old
Em
When we grow up, do we have to grow cold?
Am
Spent his whole life looking for salvation
G
Never realized nobody could save him
C
So all these words for what theyʼre worth
Em
I know itʼs hard, I know it hurts
Am
And we laugh at the past ʼcause itʼs how we learn
G
Welcome to the world, now letʼs watch it burn
Chorus:
CEm
I just wanna life that seems a little better than a dream
AmG
But I just canʼt seem to get on my feet
CEmAm
So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
GC
Iʼll hope someday that you will know
EmAm
You gotta let go, gotta let go
G
I hope someday youʼll understand
Verse:
C
Sometimes itʼs hidden, wish that I could see
Em
A future picture of an older me
Am
Would he be smiling and would he be happy?
G
Would he say a thousand words while looking right at me?
C
Is he different or the same old me?
Em
Is he still chasing after these same old dreams?
Am
I know that Iʼll never reach perfection
G
At least he could point me in the right direction
C
Some grow old, and some grow cold
Em
Theyʼd sell their souls for a heart of gold
Am
God only knows where the hell would I be
G
If I had the old me sitting beside me
Chorus:
CEm
I just wanna life that seems a little better than a dream
AmG
But I just canʼt seem to get on my feet
CEmAm
So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
GC
Iʼll hope someday that you will know
EmAm
You gotta let go, gotta let go
GCEmAmG
I hope someday youʼll understand
C
(So I gotta let go)
EmAm
No one knows what itʼs like to be alone
G
Please, tell me, is anyone out there?
C
(So I gotta let go)

No one knows what itʼs like to be alone
GCEm
Please, tell me, is anyone out there?
