Lyrics

Ain’t no talk in’ (D)to this man.

Ain’t no pret ty oth er side.

Ain’t no way to un der stand the

stu pid words of pride.

It would (A)take an ac ro bat,

but, I al read y tried all that.

(A)So, I’m gon na (D)let him fly.

(A)Gon na let him (D)fly.

Things can move at such a pace.

The sec ond hand just waved good bye.

You know the light has left his face,

but, you can’t re call just where or why.

So, there was (A)real ly noth in’ to it.

I just went (Gmaj9)and cut right through it.

Said I’m, I’m gon na (D)let him fly.

There’s no (G)mer cy in a live wire.

No rest at (Bm)all in free dom.

Of the choic es we are giv en,

there’s no choice at all.

The (G)proof is in the fire

you touch (D)be fore it moves a (Bm7)way,

yeah, yeah.

But, you must al ways know how long to stay and when to go.

And there ain’t no talk in’ (D)to this man.

He’s been try’n (D)to tell me so.

It took a while (Gmaj9)to un der stand

the beau ty of just let ting go.

’Cause it would take an ac ro bat.

I al read y tried all that.

I’m gon na (D)let him fly.

(Gsus2)I’m gon na (A)let him (D)fly,

(Gmaj9)fly,

(A)oh.

(Gsus2)I’m gon na (A)let him (D)fly,

(Gmaj9)fly,

(A)oh.

(G)I’m gon na let him (D)fly.
