Chorus:
BD#m
I just wanna life that seems a little better than a dream
G#mF#
But I just canʼt seem to get on my feet
BD#mG#m
So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
F#
Iʼll hope someday that you will know
Verse:
B
I sit back and think about the life Iʼve had
D#m
So much to change but I canʼt go back
G#m
What happened to that kid? He used to play in the street
F#
I think about that kid, he looked just like me
B
Had a smile, had a home, never grow old
D#m
When we grow up, do we have to grow cold?
G#m
Spent his whole life looking for salvation
F#
Never realized nobody could save him
B
So all these words for what theyʼre worth
D#m
I know itʼs hard, I know it hurts
G#m
And we laugh at the past ʼcause itʼs how we learn
F#
Welcome to the world, now letʼs watch it burn
Chorus:
BD#m
I just wanna life that seems a little better than a dream
G#mF#
But I just canʼt seem to get on my feet
BD#mG#m
So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
F#B
Iʼll hope someday that you will know
D#mG#m
You gotta let go, gotta let go
F#
I hope someday youʼll understand
Verse:
B
Sometimes itʼs hidden, wish that I could see
D#m
A future picture of an older me
G#m
Would he be smiling and would he be happy?
F#
Would he say a thousand words while looking right at me?
B
Is he different or the same old me?
D#m
Is he still chasing after these same old dreams?
G#m
I know that Iʼll never reach perfection
F#
At least he could point me in the right direction
B
Some grow old, and some grow cold
D#m
Theyʼd sell their souls for a heart of gold
G#m
God only knows where the hell would I be
F#
If I had the old me sitting beside me
Chorus:

You gotta let go, gotta let go
F#BD#mG#mF#
I hope someday youʼll understand
B
(So I gotta let go)
D#mG#m
No one knows what itʼs like to be alone

Please, tell me, is anyone out there?
