Gotta Let Go

[Intro]

C                            Em
I just wanna life that seems a 
little better than a dream
Am                    G
But I just can't seem to get on my 
feet
C                  Em            
So I gotta let go, gotta let go, 
Am
gotta let go
G
I'll hope someday that you will know

[First Part]

C
I sit back and think about the life 
I've had
Em
So much to change but I can't go 
back
Am
What happened to that kid? He used 
to play in the street
G
I think about that kid, he looked 
just like me
C
Had a smile, had a home, never grow 
old
Em
When we grow up, do we have to grow 
cold?
Am
Spent his whole life looking for 
salvation
G
Never realized nobody could save him
C
So all these words for what they're 
worth
Em
I know it's hard, I know it hurts
Am
And we laugh at the past 'cause it's
 how we learn
G
Welcome to the world, now let's 
watch it burn

Continues after the ad
[Chorus]

C                            Em
I just wanna life that seems a 
little better than a dream
Am                    G
But I just can't seem to get on my 
feet
C                  Em            
So I gotta let go, gotta let go, 
Am
gotta let go
G
I'll hope someday that you will know
C                 Em            
You gotta let go, gotta let go, 
Am
gotta let go
G
I hope someday you'll understand

[Second Part]

C
Sometimes it's hidden, wish that I 
could see
Em
A future picture of an older me
Am
Would he be smiling and would he be 
happy?
G
Would he say a thousand words while 
looking right at me?
C
Is he different or the same old me?
Em
Is he still chasing after these same
 old dreams?
Am
I know that I'll never reach 
perfection
G
At least he could point me in the 
right direction
C
Some grow old, and some grow cold
Em
They'd sell their souls for a heart 
of gold
Am
God only knows where the hell would 
I be
G
If I had the old me sitting beside 
me

[Chorus]

C                            Em
I just wanna life that seems a 
little better than a dream
Am                    G
But I just can't seem to get on my 
feet
C                  Em            
So I gotta let go, gotta let go, 
Am
gotta let go
G
I'll hope someday that you will know
C                 Em            
You gotta let go, gotta let go, 
Am
gotta let go
G
I hope someday you'll understand

C                 Em
No one knows what it's like to be 
alone
Am               G
Please, tell me, is anyone out 
there?
C                 Em
No one knows what it's like to be 
alone
Am               G
Please, tell me, is anyone out 
there?

( C  Em )

Am                            G
I just want a life that seems a 
little better than a dream
