[Intro]

| G | Fadd9 |
 
[Verse 1]
G Fadd9
How many years? Twenty or more
G Fadd9
Dedicated was I, indebted, indentured
G Fadd9
Repairing the roof, washing the floor
G Fadd9
I dreamt of the world, but I never ventured
Am Em
Chains round my ankles, locks on the door
Dm Em G Gadd9 G
The shackles that bound me don't any more
 
[Chorus]
C Am Cmaj7 Am
In the end, I let it go
C Am Cmaj7 Am
Maybe it's best just let it go
 
[Post-Chorus]
| G | Fadd9 |
 
[Verse 2]
G Fadd9
Was I even good at this? I'm not even sure
G Fadd9
I just did the job and kept my head down
G Fadd9
I fooled myself thinking that my aims were pure
G Fadd9
A full veil covered the face of a clown
Am Em
Hooked up to a plough, I tilled the earth
Dm Em G Gadd9 G
I buried a few and to some I gave birth
 
[Chorus]
C Am Cmaj7 Am
In the end, I let it go
C Am Cmaj7 Am
Maybe it's best just let it go
Fm6 Eb Cm
Oh, the changes came fast but the torments were slow
Eb Cm Eb Cm
Let it go, let it go
 
[Solo]
| Bb Gb | Eb |

| Bb Gb | Eb |
 
[Verse 3]
G Fadd9
A person, a gender, a human soul
G Fadd9
What kind of career miss the life in a cage
G Fadd9
One day I could hear a distant bell toll
G Fadd9
Without emotion, no joy, no rage
Am Em
I took just enough to see me well gone
Dm Em G Gadd9 G
My tiny space vacant, I left before dawn
 
[Chorus]
C Am Cmaj7 Am
Oh, in the end, I let it go
C Am Cmaj7 Am
Maybe it's best just let it go
Fm6 Eb Cm
The changes were fast but the torments were slow
Eb Cm Eb Cm
Let it go, let it go
Eb Cm Eb Cm
I let it go, let it go
Eb Cm Eb Cm
Let it go, let it go
Eb Cm Eb Cm
Let it go, let it go
 
[Outro]
