Intro: C F Am G)
 
C F Am G
From walkin' home, and talking loads,
C F Am G
To seeing shows, in evening clothes, with you.
C F Am G
From nervous touch, and getting drunk,
C F Am G
To stayin' up, and wakin' up, with you.
 
Am
And now we're slippin' at the edge
G Am/B F
Holdin' somethin' we don't need
Am
Oh, this delusion in our heads
G Am/B
Is gonna bring us to our knees
 
F C
So come on, let it go
Am G
Just let it be
F C
Why don't you be you
G
And I'll be me
F C
And everything that's broke
Am G
Leave it to the breeze
F C
Why don't you be you
G
And I'll be me
And I'll be me
 
(C F Am G)
 
C F Am G
From throwing clothes across the floor,
C F Am G
To teeth and clothes and slamming door on you
C F Am G
If this is all we're living for
C F Am G
Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?
 
Am G
I used to recognize myself
Am/B F
It's funny how reflections change
Am G
And we're becomin' somethin' else
Am/B
I think it's time to walk away
 
F C
So come on, let it go
Am G
Just let it be
F C
Why don't you be you
G
And I'll be me
F C
And everything that's broke
Am G
Leave it to the breeze
F C
Why don't you be you
G
And I'll be me
And I'll be me
 
Dm Am7
Tryin' to fit your hand inside of mine
Am7
When we know it just don't belong
G
There's no force on earth
F
Could make me feel right, no
 
Dm Am7
Tryin' to push this problem up the hill
Am7
When it's just too heavy to hold
G F
Think now's the time to let it slide
 
F C
So come on, let it go
Am G
Just let it be
F C
Why don't you be you
G
And I'll be me
F C
And everything that's broke
Am G
Leave it to the breeze
F C
Why don't you be you
G
And I'll be me
And I'll be me
