SleepingC she looked like an actress, iEmn tFmaj7heory and in Gadd11practice, I said
"There's Cgot to be a better way" Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
She said "You lCight a thousand matches when yEmou fFmaj7inally set fGadd11ire while you
Crun away Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
So Amwhy'd you go and Emdo itFmaj7 when you knew that Gyou would go and I would stayC
I hit the wall in frustration - the conversation had been circling for days
She said "Don't take it out on him, for the wall has always been supportive in the best of ways"
We're laughing and crying like mad men dying in the snow
For just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go.

She said "Love, you know I love you so; when you love someone well you've got to let them know."
And I said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone
sometimes you gotta let 'em go"
Riff #1*3, Riff #2, 2 bars of C
She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
She said "I'm gonna take this home for I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark
In some faceless hotel room where you seem to lose everything you own"
She didn't mean it how it sounded, what she meant was she would stay and I would go
I said "Love, you know I love you so. When you love someone well you've got to let them know
She said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone
sometimes you gotta let them go"
Refrain
Riff#1 *3
Sometimes you tear it all apart, to see the wood from the trees.
Sometimes you break your own

to set yourself free
I walked her to the station, hesitation in our movements and our tone
Words finally left after they realized how uncomfortable they'd become
See, what you want and what you need, well they seldomly succeed to grow
We reluctantly agreed that when you love someone, you've got to let them go
