[Verse 1]
C         C/B
  Here in Cologne
Am                  Cmaj7
   I know I said it wrong
C                     C/B
  I walked you to the train
Am                Cmaj7
  And back across alone
Am            E7
  To my hotel room
F                     D7
  And ordered me some food
C             G
  And now I'm wondering
        F
Why the floor has suddenly become a moving target
 
[Chorus]
C            C/B
Four, three, two, one,
    Fmaj7          Cmaj7
I'm letting you go
C      C/B
I will let go
   Fmaj7           Cmaj7
If you will let go
Cm7          G
Four, three, two
 
[Verse 2]
C              C/B
  Says here an astronaut
Am                  Cmaj7
   Put on a pair of diapers
C                    C/B
  And drove eighteen hours
Am                  Cmaj7
  To kill her boyfriend
Am                E7
  And in my hotel room I'm wondering
F                     D7
  If you read that story, too
C           G
  And if we both might
     F
Be having the same imaginary conversation
 
[Chorus]
C            C/B
Four, three, two, one,
    Fmaj7          Cmaj7
I'm letting you go
C      C/B
I will let go
   Fmaj7           Cmaj7
If you will let go
Cm7          G
Four, three, two
 
[Bridge]
G
Ohhhhh-aah
Fmaj7           C
Weightless as I close my eyes
G
Ohhhhh-aah
Fmaj7             C
The ceiling opens into skies
 
[Verse 3]
Am             E7
  Such a painful trip
F              D7
  To find out this is it
C           G
  And as I go to sleep
          F
You'll be waking up
 
[Chorus]
C            C/B
Four, three, two, one,
    Fmaj7          Cmaj7
I'm letting you go
C      C/B
I will let go
   Fmaj7           Cmaj7
If you will let go
 
[Outro]
G
Ohhhhh-aah
Fmaj7     C
Ohhhhh-aah
G
Ohhhhh-aah
Fmaj7     C
Ohhhhh-aah

The lyric, despite what the rest of the internet says, is "ceiling opens into skies" -- makes a lot more sense, don't you think? ;)
