You no longer play the game"  


People say I`m lazy 
dreaming my life away  
Well, they give all kinds of advies  
Designed to enlighten me  
When I tell them that I`m doing fine  
Watching shadows on the wall  
"Don`t you miss the big time, boy

You`re no longer on the ball?"

 I just had to let it go  

{Verse} 
People asking questions  
lost in confusion  
Well, I tell them there's no problems  
Only solutions   
Well, they shake their heads  
And look at me as if I've lost my mind  
I tell them there's no hury  
I'm just sitting here doing time  

{Chorus} 
I'm just sitting here watching   
The wheels go round and round  
I really love to watch them roll  
  No longer riding on the merry-go-round  

{Final} 
F        Fm/Ab             C   D7/F# 
  I just had to let it go 
F        Fm/Ab             C   D7/F# 
  I just had to let it go  
F        Fm/Ab             C 
  I just had to let it go...
