INTRO: C       F    

                 C
Ain't no talking to this man

Ain't no pretty other side
           F                                     
Ain't no way to understand

The stupid words of pride
                 G
It would take an acrobat
              F               G
And I already tried all that
                  C    F   C
I'm gonna let him fly



Things can move at such a pace

The second hand just waved goodbye
             F
You know the light has left his face
                         
But you can't recall just where or why
                    G
So there was really nothing to it
                F                    G
I just went and cut right through it
                         C   F     C
I said I'm gonna let him fly, ooh, yeah, yeah


           F               G
There's no mercy in a live wire
           Am
No rest at all in freedom
       F                         Dm     Am7
Of the choices we are given, it's no choice at all
            F               G
Oh huh, the proof is in the fire
    C                      Am     G Em       Dm
You touch before it moves away___,      yeah
                                              G
But you must always know how long to stay and when to go


                          C
And there ain't no talking to this man

He's been trying to tell me so
                  F          
It took awhile to understand
                  Am
The beauty of just letting go
                        F       
'Cause it would take an acrobat
          Dm            G
I already tried all that
                  C    F   C 
I'm gonna let him fly
F                 C    F                C
I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
F                 C    F       C
I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh oh 
F                 C 
I'm gonna let him fly
