Intro:  Em  C  G  D 
        Em  C  G  D 
 
 
Verse: 
Em                 C 
This boy wants to play 
                       G 
There's no time left today 
                        D 
It's a shame 'cause he has to go home 
Em                 C 
This boy's got to work 
                     G                        D 
Got to sweat just to pay what he gets to get left all alone 
 
 
Bridge: 
Am                  C 
Well let's step outside 
                G 
Let's go for a ride 
              D 
Just for a while 
Am                C 
No we won't get caught 
                     G                D 
Well that's what I thought, until we cry 
G 
I'm still here 
         B7 
But it hasn't been easy 
Em            Cm 
I'm sure that you had your reasons 
G          B7 
I'm scared for this emotion 
     C                          A 
For years I've been holding it down 
      Cm 
For years I've been holding it down 
Verse 2: 
Em                   C 
This girl tries her best everyday 
          G                               D   
But it's all gone to waste 'cause there's no one around 
Em                 C 
This girl she can draw she can paint 
          G 
Likes to dance she can skate 
         D 
Now she don't make a sound 
 
 
Bridge: 
Am                 C 
We'll play in the park 
                 G             D 
'Till it's too dark for us to see 
Am                       C 
Well we'll make our way home 
                  G 
With mud on our clothes 
               D 
She won't be pleased 
G 
I'm still here 
         B7 
But it hasn't been easy 
Em            Cm 
I'm sure that you had your reasons 
G          B7 
I'm scared for this emotion 
      C                        A 
For years I've been holding it down 
        G        B7 
And I, love to forgive and forget 
      Em         Cm 
So I, try to put all this behind us 
       G            B7 
Just, know that my arms are wide open 
C                    A             Cm 
The older I get, the more that I know 
Cm 
Well it's time to let this go 
 
D 
I got to let it go (x4) 
 
 
{Play Chorus} 
 
 
        G        B7 
And I, love to forgive and forget 
      Em         Cm 
So I, try to put all this behind us 
       G            B7 
Just, know that my arms are wide open 
C                    A              Cm 
The older I get, the more that I know 
 
Cm                            G 
Well it's time to let this go
