Intro: F Dm F Dm
 
Verso:
F Dm
Well surely there's time to deal another hand
F Dm
You can turn off the lights, if you need
Gm C
I'm curious to know if we could still dance
Gm C
With this elaborate pain in our knees
F Dm
And surely there's a will to cut off these ropes
F Dm
That bound us like prisoners, between
Gm C
The curious ghosts and the fearless hopes
Gm C
We might have to come close to cut free

But no one need know

No one need know, but me...

Surely you know, the hand's not at fault
F Dm
And the beast is not always best tamed

We both learn so young, how to spill to much salt
Gm C
Through the wounds of this elaborate game

Hmm hmm hmm, what have we got, to lose if we have nothing at all?

Nothing at all...

You hold on to your bruises way past the fall

When you get off the train, I'm not here to complain

I wouldn't change you at all

There's still much to learn, and I think it's your turn
C/A#
So when your ready, you can

Come over slow, and dance till we don't

And no one need know but me

Well let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

Just let it go, let it go, let it...
