Introduction: Am F C G (x2) 

(Verse) 
Am 
Funny how the little things 
    F 
Can stake a claim in memory 
    C                            G 
And cheat time to last a hundred years 

Am 
I swore that Iâ ' 'd be strong enough 
   F 
To drop my heart and pick it up 
    C                               G 
And make the great escape without a tear 
Am       F 
Iâ ' 'm so naive 


    F Am Em 
And I â  â   hold my breath a little too long 
    F Am       G 
And you â   were quick to carry on 
    F Am  Em 
And Iâ ' 'm â   learning in the afterglow 
       Dm 
Itâ ' 's a long way 
  F                   Am 
A long way to letting go 

(Interlude) Am F C G (4 beats each) 

(Verse) 
Am 
Waiting on eventually 
      F 
Where youâ ' 'll become my history 
    C                         G 
And Iâ ' 'll begin to rebuild the walls 


    Am 
And Iâ ' 'll forget to mention you 
   F 
Or wish that you were lonely too 
C                        G 
Never ache, missing your calls 
Am       F 
Iâ ' 'm so naive 


 
    F Am Em 
And I â  â   hold my breath a little too long 
    F Am       G 
And you â   were quick to carry on 
    F Am  Em 
And Iâ ' 'm â   learning in the afterglow 
       Dm 
Itâ ' 's a long way 
  F                   Am 
A long way to letting go 

                    F 
Was looking easier ideally 
      Am                        C 
And I falter at my hesitationâ ' 's end 

F                            Dm 
Close my eyes as I begin the countdown, 
                               Am 
Reach for breath, Iâ ' 'm counting down 
                  E 
But I hesitate at ten. 


    F Am Em 
And I â  â   hold my breath a little too long 
    F Am       G 
And you â   were quick to carry on 
    F Am  Em 
And Iâ ' 'm â   learning in the afterglow 
       Dm 
Itâ ' 's a long way 
  F 
A long way to letting go 
Am  Em  F   G         F Am Em 
  Oooâ     Oooâ   letting goâ   ooo 
Dm   F 
  hmmm â
