G                Fadd9
 How many years? Twenty or more

G                             Fadd9
 Dedicated was I, indebted, indentured

G                    Fadd9
 Repairing the roof, washing the floor

G                                   Fadd9
 I dreamt of the world, but I never ventured

Am                                    Em
 Chains round my ankles, locks on the door

Dm                                    Em    G  Gadd9  G
 The shackles that bound me don't any more
[Chorus]
       C      Am       Cmaj7   Am
In the end, I let it go

           C                Am   Cmaj7   Am
Maybe it's best just let it go
[Post-Chorus] | G | Fadd9 | [Verse 2]
G                             Fadd9
 Was I even good at this? I'm not even sure

G                               Fadd9
 I just did the job and kept my head down

G                                 Fadd9
 I fooled myself thinking that my aims were pure

G                                  Fadd9
 A full veil covered the face of a clown

Am                                   Em
 Hooked up to a plough, I tilled the earth

Dm                                 Em    G  Gadd9  G
 I buried a few and to some I gave birth
[Chorus]
       C      Am       Cmaj7   Am
In the end, I let it go

           C                Am   Cmaj7   Am
Maybe it's best just let it go

        Fm6                       Eb             Cm
Oh, the changes came fast but the torments were slow

       Eb         Cm    Eb    Cm
Let it go, let it go
[Solo] | Bb Gb | Eb | | Bb Gb | Eb | | Bb Gb | Eb | | Bb Gb | Eb | [Verse 3]
G                      Fadd9
 A person, a gender, a human soul

G                             Fadd9
 What kind of career miss the life in a cage

G                       Fadd9
 One day I could hear a distant bell toll

G                    Fadd9
 Without emotion, no joy, no rage

Am                                 Em
 I took just enough to see me well gone

Dm                              Em       G  Gadd9  G
 My tiny space vacant, I left before dawn
[Chorus]
           C      Am       Cmaj7   Am
Oh, in the end, I let it go

           C                Am   Cmaj7   Am
Maybe it's best just let it go

    Fm6                       Eb             Cm
The changes were fast but the torments were slow

       Eb         Cm    Eb    Cm
Let it go, let it go

         Eb         Cm    Eb    Cm
I let it go, let it go

       Eb         Cm    Eb    Cm
Let it go, let it go

       Eb         Cm    Eb    Cm
Let it go, let it go
