Chords Relative to Capo:
 
C-x32010       Am-x02210
F-133211       G-355433 (Bar Chord)
 
*Note* - When playing the "CFAmG" chord Progression, (for the F bar chord) you can remove your
 first finger (the bar) for the last down strum of the measure. You also do something similar on the G chord
(instead of removing bar, you slide down from G chord to the F chord on the last down strum)
ONLY NEED TO DO THIS FOR FLAIR AND TO SOUND CLOSER TO THE ACTUAL SONG
 
*2nd Note* - If you want to practice bar chords (or challenge yourself),
you can just remove the capo and play these chords:
 
Db-x43121   Bb-x13321
Gb-244322   Ab-466544
 
(Only made chords with capo on 1st because the Db chord is a little difficult for some)
 
[Intro]
C F Am G 2x
 
[Verse 1]
C                F                 Am G
 From walking home and talking loads
C              F                           Am G
 To seeing shows in evening clothes with you
C                 F                  Am G
 From nervous touch and getting drunk
C            F                       Am G
 To staying up and waking up with you
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
          Am                   C
Now we're sleeping near the edge
                               Am7 C
Holding something we don't need
            Am              C                               Am7 C *(strum C one downstroke)
All this delusion in our heads is gonna bring us to our knees
 
[Chorus]
                   F C             Am G
So come on, let it go, just let it be
                 F  C             G
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
                  F   C                  Am   G
Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
                 F  C             G
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
 
And I'll be me
 
C F Am G 2x
 
[Verse 2]
C                     F                Am G
 From throwing clothes across the floor
C                  F                         Am G
 To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
C              F                Am G
 If this is all we're living for
            C                     F              Am G
 Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
          Am               C
I used to recognize myself
                                 Am7 C
It's funny how reflections change
              Am                  C
When we're becoming something else
                              Am7 C*
I think it's time to walk away
 
[Chorus]
                   F C             Am G
So come on, let it go, just let it be
                 F C                G
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
                  F   C                  Am   G
Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
                 F  C               G
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
 
And I'll be me
 
C F Am G 2x
 
[Bridge]
F                              C
 Tryna fit your hand inside of mine
 
 When we know it just don't belong
G                                           Am
 Cause no force on earth could make it feel right, no no
F                               C
 Tryna push this problem up the hill
 
 When it's just too heavy to hold
G                                 Am
 I think now's the time to let it slide
 
[Breakdown]
                   F* C*           Am* G*
So come on, let it go, just let it be
                 F* C*            G*
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
                  F   C                  Am   G
Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
              F   C              G
Let the ashes fall, forget about me
 
[Chorus]
                F C             Am G
Come on, let it go, just let it be
                 F  C             G
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
And I'll be me
 
C F Am G 2x (second time one strum on G)
