Bm           D    
All I was, a shadow of 
                Em 
You tell me you love me then you bring me to my knees 
Bm         D 
Torn away, fall from grace 
               Em 
The water will rise, wash all your lies out to sea 
               Bm      D          Em 
So why did you take my heart? My heart 
 
Bm     D 
Let go 
       Em 
Let go 
 
Into the unknown 
      G  
Let go 
                 D 
And God only knows 
       A              
I won't let go 
 
Bm                 D 
Wicked games and I'm your slave 
             Em 
If you don't love me then why don't you set me free? 
               Bm           D        Em 
So why did you take my heart? My heart 
 
Bm     D 
Let go

Let go 
 
Into the unknown

And God only knows 
       A 
I won't let go 
 
Em 
High water and the levee's breaking 
 
(High water and the levee's breaking) 
Em 
I tried but it's not worth saving 
 
(I tried but it's not worth saving) 
Em 
Shore lights and I just might make it 
                                       A 
Shore lights and I just might make it home 
A 
But I won't 
 
      G 
Let go 
D        Em 
Let it go 
G      D   Em  
Let go
