Jeremy Zucker – Letting Go (Guitar)

        E                 G#m/D#
We were three kids in the backyard

       C#m             B
With a spaceship and a toy car.

       A               C#m/G#
It was perfect 'til we had to come

  F#m  B/F#
inside.

          E                G#m/D#
Now we're three men in the same spot

       C#m          B
With a shovel and a shoebox.

         A                     C#m/G#
It's the first time that we've had to say

        A           C#m/G#
Well, I know no one wants to

        F#m
dig the hole

            A C#m/G#      F#m
But there's nothing quite like

B/F#
letting go

       E             G#m/D#
It was summer, I was in Maine

          C#m              B
Must have lost her in that timeframe

       A              C#m/G#     F#m B/F#
If I'm honest, it was hard to be away

        E               G#m/D#
Wrote a love song on my guitar

         C#m                 B
Then she dumped me through a postcard

         A
It's the first time that

  C#m/G#              F#m   B/F#
I knew my heart could break

           A            C#m/G#
Well, I've won and I've lost

       F#m
and it blows

         A             C#m/G#
It's the first and the only love

  B/F#
I think I've ever known

        A              C#m/G#
If it's true that what hurts you

          F#m
helps you grow

             A  C#m/G#     F#m
Then there's nothing quite like

B/F#
letting go

            A  C#m/G#     F#m
No, there's nothing quite like

B/F#
letting go (yeah)

            A  C#m/G#     B/F#
Oh, there's nothing quite like

       E              G#m/D#
Saw my mother and she asked me

            C#m            B
"How's your brother? Is he happy?"

         A
He'll be alright,

        C#m/G#             F#m    B/F#
he just needs some room to breathe

          E
Now we're both here,

       G#m/D#
living on the West Coast

      C#m
Kinda back where we started,

     B
just doing it alone

         A      C#m/G#
It's not easier,

                       F#m       B/F#
it's just a little bit different

         A               C#m/G#
Still, I know that you'd never

       F#m
let it show

      A             C#m/G#
But I bet that it's scary watching

B/F#
all your kids leave home

          A             C#m/G#
Sometimes plants need a bigger

       F#m
pot to grow

         A               C#m/G#
It's not wrong, it's not right

       A    B/F#    G#m
Making room in your life

            A  C#m/G#     F#m
Oh, there's nothing quite like

B/F#
letting go

            E                  G#m/D#
But there's one thing that I'd undo

       C#m           B
When I said I didn't love you

       A
It was stupid,

      C#m/G#             F#m  B/F#
I was just too scared to see

        E                 G#m/D#
But you showed me what it means

     C#m
In a world where we'll never

B
have to be alone

        A       C#m/G#
It's so obvious,

                F#m  B/F#
you're one of a kind

          A           C#m/G#
I'm still learning to give up

     F#m
some control

         A               C#m/G#
I wonder where we'll get married and

    B/F#
The shade we'll paint our home

         A        C#m/G#         F#m
It's not hard to imagine growing old

         A          C#m/G#
With you here in my life

       A   B/F#  G#
It's a beautiful ride

            A  C#m/G#     F#m
Oh, there's nothing quite like

B/F#         E
letting go
