Capo 6
[Em] [Am]
[Verse 1]
You work like[Em] every nail sunk
Every floorboard laid
Is [Am]another deed erased
Another debt that's paid
Like every [Em]story you've erected's gonna raise you up
So you keep [Am]slaving but it never seems to be enough
[Pre-Chorus]
And now you're [C]scared that it's all gonna crash to the ground
So you [Em]tied a knot and started [D]climbing your way [C]down
When you [C]find that you've come to the end of your rope
Take a [Em]look and see where you were [D]putting all your [C]hope
[Chorus]
Cause you built these [Em]gallows you've been hanging from
You've been [D]holding to a [G]noose
So just let [C]go, just let go
You [D]built these [Em]gallows you've been hanging from
And you got [D]nothing to [G]lose
So just let [C]go, just let go
[Em] [Am]
[Verse 2]
I love the [Em]wood's already rotting
Though you made it clean
You've [Am]hated every short cut
Concealed it's crooked seam
But every [Em]flaw will be revealed
Each imperfection shown
Oh, I can [Am]hear the wind howl and the timber groan
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus] (x3)
