Intro: C#FmA#mG#
Chorus:
C#Fm
I just wanna life that seems a little better than a dream
A#mG#
But I just canʼt seem to get on my feet
C#FmA#m
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
Fm
So much to change but I canʼt go back
A#m
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
Fm
When we grow up, do we have to grow cold?
A#m
Spent his whole life looking for salvation
G#
Never realized nobody could save him
C#
So all these words for what theyʼre worth
Fm
I know itʼs hard, I know it hurts
A#m
And we laugh at the past ʼcause itʼs how we learn
G#
Welcome to the world, now letʼs watch it burn
Chorus:
C#Fm
I just wanna life that seems a little better than a dream
A#mG#
But I just canʼt seem to get on my feet
C#FmA#m
So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
G#C#
Iʼll hope someday that you will know
FmA#m
You gotta let go, gotta let go
G#
I hope someday youʼll understand
Verse:
C#
Sometimes itʼs hidden, wish that I could see
Fm
A future picture of an older me
A#m
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?
Fm
Is he still chasing after these same old dreams?
A#m
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
Fm
Theyʼd sell their souls for a heart of gold
A#m
God only knows where the hell would I be
G#
If I had the old me sitting beside me
Chorus:
C#Fm
I just wanna life that seems a little better than a dream
A#mG#
But I just canʼt seem to get on my feet
C#FmA#m
So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
G#C#
Iʼll hope someday that you will know
FmA#m
You gotta let go, gotta let go
G#C#FmA#mG#
I hope someday youʼll understand
C#
(So I gotta let go)
FmA#m
No one knows what itʼs like to be alone
G#
Please, tell me, is anyone out there?
C#
(So I gotta let go)
FmA#m
No one knows what itʼs like to be alone
G#C#Fm
Please, tell me, is anyone out there?
A#mG#C#FmA#mG#
I just want a life that seems a little better than a dream
