C 
The cut is deep 
G 
But never deep enough for me 
F 
It doesn't hurt enough 
C 
To make me forget 
C 
One moment of relief 
G 
Is never long enough 
G                        F 
To keep the voices in my head 
C             G 
From stealing my peace 

F       C 
Oh, control 
F                       C 
It's time, time to let you go 

C 
Perfection has a price 
G 
But I cannot afford to live that life 
F 
It always ends the same 
C                G 
A fight I never win 

F       C 
Oh, control 
F                       C 
It's time, time to let you go 

F                       G 
I'm letting go of the illusion 
F                       G 
I'm letting go of the confusion 
F                         G 
I can't carry it another step 
F 
I close my eyes and take a breath 
C               G        F 
I'm letting go, letting go 

C 
There were scars 
C 
Before my scars 
G 
Love written on the hands 
G 
That hung the stars 
F 
Hope living in the blood 
C 
That was spilled for me 

F      C 
Oh, control 
F                       C 
It's time, time to let you go 

F     C 
Oh, Control 
F                       C 
It's time, time to let you go
