Chorus:

Well, you only need the light when it's burning low
              D                       Em
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
               C                           G       D
Only know you love her when you let her go
                      C                            G
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
              D                          Em
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
               C                           G
Only know you love her when you let her go
D
  And you let her go

Verse 1:
Em                            C
Staring at the bottom of your glass
        D                          Bm
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
                  Em              C          D
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
    Em                          C
You see her when you close your eyes
      D                         Bm
Maybe one day you'll understand why
               Em            C        D
Everything you touch surely dies

Chorus:

Only know you love her when you let her go
                      C                            G
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Verse 2:
Em                            C
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
         D                     Bm
Same old empty feeling in your heart
                    Em              C       D
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
         Em                      C
Well you see her when you fall asleep
             D                  Bm
But never to touch and never to keep
                         Em
'Cause you loved her too much
                C        D
And you dived too deep

Well, you only need the light when it's burning low
              D                       Em
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
               C                           G       D
Only know you love her when you let her go
                      C                           G
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
              D                          Em
Only hate the road when you're missin' home

Only know you love her when you let her go
