On ly need the (C)light when it’s burn in’ low.
On ly miss the (D)sun when it starts to snow.
On ly know you (C)love her when you let her go.
On ly know you’ve been (C)high when you’re feel in’ low.
On ly hate the (D)road when you’re miss in’ home.
On ly know you (C)love her when you let her go.
And you let her go.
(Em)Star ing at the bot tom of your (C)glass hop ing (D)one day you’ll make a dream (Bm)last.
But dreams come (Em)slow and they go so (C)fast.
