[Verse 1]
Asus4   A   Asus4   A   Dsus2   D   Dsus2   D
If      you twist   and turn   away
Asus4   A   Asus4       A       Dsus2   D    Dsus2   D
If      you tear    yourself in two     again
Asus4   A      Asus4   A
If I    could, yes I   would
   Dsus2   D      Dsus2   D
If I       could, I  would
       Asus4   A   Asus4   A
let it go

[Verse 2]
Asus4   A       Asus4      A
If      I could throw this lifeless
Dsus2    D             Dsus2   D
life  -  line to the wind    Leave this
Asus4    A     Asus4   A      Dsus2   D   Dsus2
heart of clay, see you walk, walk    away
D        A     D
Into the night and through the rain
         A          D    Dsus2    D
Into the half-light and through the flame
 
 
[Verse 3]
Asus4   A       Asus4     A
If      I could through myself
Dsus2   D        Dsus2
set  your spirit free
    D         Asus4   A
I'd lead your heart  away
Asus4   A       Dsus2   D   Dsus2
see you break, break   away
D        Asus4    A   Asus4
Into the li   -   ight
A          Dsus2   D   Dsus2   D
and to the day
A                 D
 hoo hoo, hoo hoo, hoo hoo
A                 D
 hoo hoo, hoo hoo, hoo hoo
 
 
[Bridge]
          A            D
To let it go and so to fade away
          A            D
To let it go and so to fade away
 
 
[Chorus]
          A               D
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
      Gsus2  D           Asus4   A   Asus4   A
wide awa  -  ake, I'm not slee - ping
     Dsus2   D     Dsus2   D
oh, no,      no, no

| Asus4  A    | Asus4  A    | Dsus2  D    | Dsus2  D     | x2
 
 
[Verse 4]
Asus4   A          Asus4    A
If      you should ask then maybe
Dsus2       D        Dsus2   D
they'd tell you what I would say
     Asus4   A      Asus4    A
true colors  fly in blue and black
        Dsus2   D       Dsus2   D
bruised silken  sky and burning flag
Asus4    A                       Dsus2   D
Colours crash, collide in blood shot eyes
Asus4    A                 Dsus2   D
 hoo hoo, hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Asus4    A
If I could you know I would
   Dsus2   D                Asus4    A
If I could I would let it go
 
 
[Middle]
 Asus4    A          Dsus2   D  Dsus2   D
           This desperation, 
      Asus4    A   Asus4    A
dislocation, 
     Dsus2   D    Dsus2   D
separation condemnation, 
     Asus4    A     Asus4    A
revelation, in temptation
    Dsus2   D   Dsus2   D
isolation, desolation
 
 
[Bridge]
       A         D
Let it go and so fade away
          A   D
To let it go, oh yeah, and so fade away
          A      D
To let it go, oh lord, and so to fade away
 
 
[Chorus]
          A               D
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
      Gsus2  D           Asus4   A   Asus4   A
wide awa  -  ake, I'm not slee - ping
     Dsus2   D     Dsus2   D
oh, no,      no, no
 
 
[Outro]
| Asus4  A    | Asus4  A    | Dsus2  D    | Dsus2  D     |
(fade out or finish on A)
