[Verse 1]
C                  F
Men have tried for centuries
Am                     G
To set us free through alchemy
C               F
Stirring metals in the heat
Am               G            F      G7    G
To create the key to our immortality

[Verse 2]
C                 F
Pouring all their greatest hope
          Am                        G             Gsus4
Under the microscope, searching for homemade gold
C                     F
Some things are to be good to be true
         Am                        G
Even the scientists knew soon they'd be gone too
     F      G    Am     G
Like me and you

[Chorus]
C         G         Am           G
It's okay to let go; you gave it all you had
F            G             Am                  G
And you know time and gold were never meant to last
C             G  Am7
And when they fade  some day
      F                G7    G         C
We're left with who we loved along the way

[Interlude]
C F G

[Bridge]
(G)            Am           G
If a ripple in time let you rewind
(G)              Am G             F    G
Who would you go find if you were able
(G)              Am                           G    Am7
They'd pull up a seat, have something good to eat
(Am7)   Am                G           C
Tell me who you'd like to see at your table
F   G   Am  C        G
Oh, oh

[Verse 3]
C                F
Waves spread out across the beach
           Am            F            G                 G7
And at the edge of their reach you're walking here with me
C                 F
I don't care what scientists say
              Am            G     F              G7     G
Long past the edges of space I'll recognise your face

[Chorus]
C         G         Am           G
It's okay to let go; you gave it all you had
F            G             Am                  G7
And you know time and gold were never meant to last
C             G  Am
And when they fade some day
      F                G7              C
We're left with who we loved along the way
      F                G7              C
We're left with who we loved along the way
