Intro (x2): Bm  D  A

    Bm         D
Well I own this feel 
    Bm        D
And I rode the sky 
    Bm        D         Gb           G
And I have no reason to reason with you 


       Bm                         D
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you lowered, 
      A                                 Bm
but I understand that I'd never let it go 
                                  D
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,
      A                                 Bm
But I understand the world does what it does 


    G             D            A
You never did learn to let the little things go, 
        G            D            A
And you never did learn to let me be. 
        G            D          A
And you never did learn to let little people grow, 
    G            D         A
You never did learn how to see. 


      Bm                           D
But I whisper that I love this man now and for forever, 
        A                             Bm
To your soul as it floats out of the window. 
       G              D           A
To the world that you turned your back on, 
       G              D               A
To the world that never really let you be. 


     Bm             D
I am lower now, and lower still, 
            G               D               A
And you did always say that one day I would suffer, 
        G               D                A
You did always say that people get their pay, 
        G               D             A
You did always say that I was going places, 
             G                D         A
And that you wouldn't have it any other way. 


      Bm                         D
But I couldn't turn my back on a world, 
                         A
For what I like wouldn't let me, 
      Bm                         D
But i couldn't turn my back on a world,
                   A 
For what I like anyday 


      Bm                         D
And I couldn't turn my back on a world,
                         A 
for what I like wouldn't let me
      Bm                         D 
And I couldn't turn my back on a world, 
                 A
for what I like I needed 
      Bm                  
And I shouldn't turn my back,
     D                        A       D     A
