Intro: D G

                 D
Ain't no talking to this man

Ain't no pretty other side
           G
Ain't no way to understand

The stupid words of pride
                 A
It would take an acrobat
              G               A
And I already tried all that
                  D    G   D
I'm gonna let him fly



Things can move at such a pace

The second hand just waved goodbye
             G
You know the light has left his face

But you can't recall just where or why
                    A
So there was really nothing to it
                G                    A
I just went and cut right through it
                         D   G     D
I said I'm gonna let him fly, ooh, yeah, yeah


           G               A
There's no mercy in a live wire
           Bm
No rest at all in freedom
       G                         Em     Bm7
Of the choices we are given, it's no choice at all
            G               A
Oh huh, the proof is in the fire
    D                      Bm     A Gbm      Em
You touch before it moves away___,      yeah
                                              A
But you must always know how long to stay and when to go


                          D
And there ain't no talking to this man

He's been trying to tell me so
                  G
It took awhile to understand
                  Bm
The beauty of just letting go
                        G
'Cause it would take an acrobat
          Em            A
I already tried all that
                  D    G   D
I'm gonna let him fly
G                 D    G                D
I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G                 D    G       D
I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh oh
G                 D
I'm gonna let him fly
