Intro C Dm G C G
C
Will I get my happy ending
Will I get this off my chest
Am7
One chance is all I can get
Am
Two hands and nothing but sweat
C
Will I get my act together
G
Or keep fucking up my lines
Am7
One chance is all I can get
G
I need to say it
F
'Cause when we're cheek to cheek
G
It's behind my teeth
C Dm
I've been holding onto this too long
G
And it's slipping off my tongue
C
I'm losing control of
G C
Oh I have to let this go
Dm
What I've been afraid of
G
And it just might be my saviour
C
How will I know if
G C
If I let you leave alone
Dm G C G
Oh I have to let this go
C
We have so much fun together
Can't fix something that's not broke
Am7
So I smile and brush it all off
Am
Get stuck in all of these thoughts
C
Will you wonder why I'm stalling
Do you want to say it too
Am7
Go ahead you'd probably do better
Am G
My head is struggling
F
'Cause when we're cheek to cheek
G
It's behind my teeth
C Dm
I've been holding onto this too long
G
And it's slipping off my tongue
C
I'm losing control of

Oh I have to let this go

What I've been afraid of
G
And it just might be my saviour

How will I know if

If I let you leave alone
Dm G C G
Oh I have to let this go
Dm Am7
I pray that I don't make
G C G
The same mistakes I did before
Dm7
So I keep on waiting
Am7
Don't know how to say it
C
I hope I don't waste it
G
Hope I let it go
C Dm
I've been holding onto this too long
G
And it's slipping off my tongue

I'm losing control of

Oh I have to let this go

What I've been afraid of

And it just might be my saviour

How will I know if

If I let you leave alone

Oh I have to let this go
