Verse 1:
                                  Gbm
Sweetie Little Jean where did you go? 
                                    D
Everyone's been searching high and low 
                           Bm
And your mother's worried sick 
                        D
Dearest daddy lost his grip
 
While the whole world's watching
Bm                        D
Candlelight vigils being held in silence
Bm             Gbm
On the channel four
                          Gbm
And they've knocked every door
                           D
Every place you've been before
 

D         Bm            Gbm
How long will we let it go?
D       Bm                 Gbm
I think we should just let go
 
Pre-Chorus:
D              Bm
I, I want you back -back-
          Gbm
Let's get back
 A                               D
Lay my weary head against your bones
Bm                                      D
Where all my troubles will be dead and gone
 
Chorus:
D         Bm            Gbm
How long will we let it go?
D       Bm                Gbm
I think we should just let go
 
Interlude: E D Gbm

Verse 2:
                              Gbm
Has melancholy taken you for good?
                                      D
You know that I would save you if I could
                                Bm
Watched your laughter turn to tears
                           D
Then you vanished in thin air
                              Bm            D
Well we pinned your missing persons picture up
           Bm           Gbm
On every mother-loving post
                        Gbm
How's it feel to be a ghost?
                           D
You're the one I love the most
 
Pre-Chorus:
D              Bm
I, I want you back
          Gbm
Let's get back
 A            Bm     Gbm         D
Lay my weary head against your breast
 Bm                                    D
Where all my troubles will be laid to rest
 

    D                           Bm
I pushed and I pulled 'til I pushed you aside
     D                         Bm
Now all that is left are the tears that you cried
 D                               Bm
I'm sorry love for all of the damage done
    Gbm               A
I only hope that someday to be back beside you
 
Chorus:
D              Bm
I, I want you back
          Gbm
Let's get back
 A                               D
Lay my weary head against your bones
      Bm                                 D
Where all our troubles will be dead and gone
 

 D       Bm             Gbm
How long will we let it go?
 D       Bm             Gbm
I think we should just let go
