  			    G 
The boulevard is bustling 
  Em 
A vast and wrinkled muslin 
   D 
Is all over my eyes 
                    Em      G   D 
And i know i don't belong 

      G 
There is a noise inside of me 
     Em 
That bustles asymmetrically 
   D 
Oh how am i to balance 
                    Em     G  D 
Those sounds into a song? 

                       G       G7M  G6 
It's time to let your hair down 
    G7M            Em9    Em9   Em 
And give yourself permission 
            G           D 
It takes courage and control 
                         Em   G  D 
But you start by letting go   oh 

    G 
The city's an analogy 
    Em 
For things building inside of me 
        D 
There's chaos and there's discourse 
               Em   G  D 
Still we move along 

    G 
The chaos sings of symmetry 
    Em 
And all her words are poetry 
    D 
And that's the kind of city 
                  Em    G  D 
Which i want to belong       mmm 

                      G       G7M  G6 
It's time to let your hair down 
    G7M            Em(2)    Em9   Em 
And give yourself permission 
            G           D 
It takes courage and control 
                         Em  G  D     Em 
But you start by letting go  oh     ooh 

  D       A      D       Em 
 oh i think, i feel, i see 
  D         A       D       Em 
 oh that this place is not me 
      D           A            D        Em 
 i want to be alone, but be wild and free 
  D        A      D 
 oh he who asks receives 

                       G       G7M  G6 
It's time to let your hair down 
    G7M            Em(2)    Em9   Em 
And give yourself permission 
            G           D 
It takes courage and control 
                         Em   G  D 
But you start by letting go   oh 

                       G       G7M  G6 
It's time to let your hair down 
    G7M            Em(2)    Em9   Em 
And give yourself permission 
               G           D 
Oh it takes courage and control 
                         Em   G  D 
But you start by letting go   oh
