[Verse]

Em           C                      G       D
Once upon a time I could take anything, anything.
Em                C          D
Always stepped in time, regardless of the beat
           Em               C
I moved my feet, I carried weight
        G              D
When I could not do I Faked
Em               C
I dug seeking treasure
D                             C C/B Am G
Just to wake up in an early grave
D
So I stopped right there and said


[Chorus]

        G                     D
Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow.
            Em                           C
This isn't giving up, no this is letting go
              G             D
Out with the old dreams I've borrowed
          Em                                 C
The path I carve from here on out will be my own
                     C     D
The path will be my own

[Verse]

Em                          C
This is the part where the needle skips
         G                   D
And the chorus plays like a sink that drips
     Em          C              D
A syllable repeating, like a warning we aren't heeding
       Em                  C
Until all of a sudden we noticed it
         G                     D
When the wheels brace and the tires grip
  Em             C
A map we've been misreading
     D
A defeat we're not conceding
    C C/B Am G
Until now
                D
There must be some other way out


[Chorus]

        G                     D
Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow.
            Em                           C
This isn't giving up, no this is letting go
              G             D
Out with the old dreams I've borrowed
          Em                                 C
The path I carve from here on out will be my own
    G      D
A path to take me home

[Bridge]

Em
The wind died
C
The whole world ceased to move
G
Now so quiet
Am
Her beating heart became a boom
Em
We locked eyes
C
For just a moment or two
G
She asked why
        Am
I said "I don't know why"
       Em
I just know
         C
The wind died
G          Am
The whole world ceased to move
Em      C
Now so quiet
G            Am
Her beating heart became a boom
Em         C
We locked eyes
G           Am
For just a moment or two
Em         C
She asked why
       G              Am
I said "I don't know why"
  Bm     C
I just know
       D
I just know


[Chorus + outro]

        G                    D
Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow
           Em                           C
This isn't giving up, no this is letting go

              G               D
I'll make the most of all this sorrow
           Em                                  C
I tried to brave this discontent but now I'm through
                    G    D     Em     C
I'm letting go of you - woah - woah - woah
                G     D
This is letting go - woah
                Em C
This is letting go
Em          C                 G         Am
Once upon a time I could take anything, anything
