Lyrics

From walk ing home (F)and talk ing loads,

to see ing shows (F)in eve ning clothes with you.

From ner vous touch (F)and get ting drunk,

to stay ing up (F)and wak ing up with you.

But now we’re (C)sleep ing at the edge, it’s hold ing some thing we don’t (Fmaj7)need.

All this de (Am)lu sion in our heads (C)is gon na bring us to our (F#)knees.

So, come on, let it (C)go,

just let it (Am)be.

Why don’t you be (C)you,

and I’ll be (G)me?

Ev ’ry thing that’s (C)broke,

leave to the (Am)breeze.

Why don’t you be (C)you,

and I’ll be (G)me?

And I’ll be (C)me.

From throw ing clothes (F)a cross the floor,

to teeth and claws, (F)and slam ming doors at you.

If this is all (F)we’re liv ing for,

why are we (C)do ing it, do ing it, (F)do ing it an y (Am)more?

I used to Try’n to fit your hand in side of (C)mine when we know it just don’t be long.

There’s no force on earth could make it feel (Am)right, no.

Whoa.

Try’n to push this prob lem up the (C)hill when it’s just too heav y to hold.

I think now it’s time to let it (Am)slide.

So, come on, let it (C)go, oh, just let it (Am)be.

Why don’t you be (C)you

and I’ll be (G)me?

Ev ’ry thing that’s (C)broke,

leave it to the (Am)breeze.

Let the ash es (C)fall;

for get a bout (G)me.

Come on, let it (C)go,

just let it (Am)be.

Why don’t you be (C)you,

and I’ll be (G)me?

And I’ll be (C)me.
