Gallows

Em  Am

[Verse 1]
             Em
You work like every nail sunk
Every floorboard laid
   Am
Is another deed erased
Another debt that's paid
           Em
Like every story you've erected’s 
gonna raise you up
            Am
So you keep slaving but it never 
seems to be enough

[Pre-Chorus]
               C
And now you're scared that it's all 
gonna crash to the ground
       Em                     
So you tied a knot and started 
 D                 C
climbing your way down
         C
When you find that you've come to 
the end of your rope
       Em                          
Take a look and see where you were 
D                C
putting all your hope

[Chorus]
                      Em
Cause you built these gallows you've
 been hanging from

            D            G
You've been holding to a noose
            C
So just let go, just let go
    D           Em
You built these gallows you've been 
hanging from
            D          G
And you got nothing to lose
            C
So just let go, just let go

Em  Am

[Verse 2]
           Em
I love the wood's already rotting
Though you made it clean
       Am
You've hated every short cut
Concealed it’s crooked seam
          Em
But every flaw will be revealed
Each imperfection shown
          Am
Oh, I can hear the wind howl and the
 timber groan

[Pre-Chorus]
               C
And now you're scared that it's all 
gonna crash to the ground
       Em                     
So you tied a knot and started 
 D                 C
climbing your way down
         C
When you find that you've come to 
the end of your rope
       Em                          
Take a look and see where you were 
D                C
putting all your hope

[Chorus] (x3)
                      Em
Cause you built these gallows you've
 been hanging from
            D            G
You've been holding to a noose
            C
So just let go, just let go
    D           Em
You built these gallows you've been 
hanging from
            D          G
And you got nothing to lose
            C
So just let go, just let go
