INTRO: D G A (2x)
You [D]told me yourself you were a [G]writer
You followed every line and theme right [A]through
I never [D]suspected I was a one-[G]nighter
But there [A]was this line, I'm gonna keep it for you
CHORUS:
'Cause you let it [D]go
You let that line go, you let it [G]go
And you call yourself a [A]writer
You let it [D]go
You let that line go, you let it [G]go
I'm gonna keep it for [A]you
[D]Oh, some people think you're quite a[G]mazing
They heard you do your songs on radi[A]o
But somewhere[D] in that sweet there's bitter [G]tasting
'Cause down [A]deep inside, you know that somebody knows
CHORUS:
You let it [D]go
You let that line go, you let it [G]go
And you call yourself a [A]writer
You let it [D]go
You let that line go, you let it [G]go
I'm gonna keep it for [A]you
I'm gonna [D]play it out loud
I'm gonna do it one more time
I'm gonna [G]do it my show
I want the [A]world to know
Oh, it [D]just takes one night to make a reputation
Oh, it [G]just takes one lie to [A]break a heart
And it [D]just takes one line to make a song sing
But you let me [G]go
I want the [D]world to know, you let it go
INSTRUMENTAL: G A D G A
So, [D]let me pose this question while you're [G]posing
Let me wonder why, that's what I [A]do
I saw you[D] open your eyes while mine were [G]closing
Did you [A]take it all down from your point of view
CHORUS:
Or did you let it [D]go
You let that line go, you let it [G]go
And you call yourself a [A]writer
You let it [D]go
You let that line go, you let it [G]go
I'm gonna keep it for [A]you
I'm gonna [D]play it out loud
I'm gonna do it one more time
I'm gonna [G]do it my show[A]
I want the world to know
That it [D]just takes one night to make a reputation
It [G]just takes one lie to [A]break a heart
And it [D]just takes one line to make a song sing
You let me [G]go
