[Intro] A5 Fsus2 A5 Fsus2 [Verse 1]
Am         F           Am    F               Am
   Let it out, let it out,  fill the empty space

        F              C                Gsus4  G
So insecure, find the words and let it out

Am          F             Am     F                 Am
   Staring down, staring down,  nothing comes  to mind

          F               C          Gsus4/B
Find the place, turn the water into wine
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F        F                Am      Am 
  But I feel I'm getting nowhere

F           F             Em   Gsus4  G
  And I'll never see the end
[Chorus 1]
      C   G/B     Am            F
So I wither, and render myself helpless

  C    G/B       Am            F
I give in, and ev'rything is clear

  C      G/B       F             F
I break down, and let the story guide me
[Verse 2]
Am          F           Am   F                 Am  
   Turn it on, turn it on,  let the feelings flow

            F             C                Gsus4
Close your eyes, see the ones you used to know

Am       F        Am        F              Am
   Open up, open up,  don't struggle to relate

         F             C        Gsus4/B  
Lure it out, help the memory escape
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F             F             Am      Am 
  Still this barrenness consumes me

F         F                Em   Gsus4  G
   And I feel like giving up
[Chorus 2]
      C   G/B     Am            F
So I wither, and render myself helpless

  C    G/B       Am            F
I give in, and ev'rything is clear

  C      G/B       Am            F
I break down, and let the story guide me

  C   G/B      Am          F
I wither, and give myself away

Dm                          F
   Like reflections on the page

     Gsus4        G     Fmaj7   G5   Am   Am   Fmaj7   G5   Am   Am
The world's what you create.
[Bridge]
  Fmaj7         G          Am                  Am
I drown in hesitation, my words come crashing down

     Fmaj7         Em      Am             Am
And all my best creations burn into the ground

     Fmaj7               G     C         G/B Am
The thought of starting over  leaves me paralyzed

         F           Em              Gsus4   G
Tear it out again, another one that got away
[Chorus 3]
  C   G/B      Am            F
I wither, and render myself helpless

  C    G/B       Am            F
I give in, and ev'rything is clear
[Guitar Solo] C G/B Am F C G/B Am F [Chorus 4]
  C   G/B      Am            F
I wither, and render myself helpless

  C     G/B       Am            F
I give in,  and ev'rything is clear

  C      G/B      Am             F
I break down, and let the story guide me

  C   G/B      Am          F
I wither, and give myself away
[Outro]
Dm                          F
   Like reflections on the page

     Gsus4        G     Am   F   Am
the world's what you create

     F                  Am   F   Am
The world's what you create

        F           Am
Let it out, let it out
