[Chords] E 0221xx E7 020130 * = Strum once [Intro] A Em G D x2 [Verse 1]
A          Em
Maybe if I catch my breath

G          D
Maybe if I wait a little

A            Em               G             D
Iʼd remember how it hurts and stop before I fall

A             Em
Iʼd forget to come apart

    G                D
Iʼd catch myself and hold on tightly

A          Em               G                 D
Let memory wash over me, forgive but donʼt forget
[Pre-Chorus]
              A
So donʼt come back to me begging

 Em
"Whyʼd you leave?

        G                      D
Tell me why, how you could you let this go?"
[Chorus]
E*        Bm*
Let it be all it is

A                  G             A
Small and still, a memory like a stone

         Em                  Bm
A jagged edge made smooth by time

A         E
Let it be all it is

Bm                  D            A
Small and still and better left alone

                E            Bm
Some things are better broken

A                E            Bm
 Some things are better broken
[Verse 2]
A                   Em
Illusions come, the venom stings

G                 D
Swirling visions, soft and perfect

A                 Em         G            D
They blur all the edges ʼtil everythingʼs fine

A                 Em
So Iʼll pretend I didnʼt cry

    G                D
And you pretend that youʼre my savior

   A             Em              G                  D
We both remember what we want to get us through the night
[Pre-Chorus]
              A
So donʼt come back to me begging

 Em
"Whyʼd you leave?

        G                      D

A jagged edge made smooth by time

Let it be all it is

Bm                  D           A
Small and still and better left alone
