Intro: C - C7 - F - Fm - C - Am - C - G - C 

C                                       C7 
I got nowhere to go, at least not in a hurry 
                 F                          Fm 
I been travelin' slow, I been tryin' not to worry 
                C                      Am 
And the thought crosses my mind, every now and then 
                C    G                  C 
What a waste of time all this worry has been 
C                                      C7 
I could be writing a song or lost in a book 
                   F                          Fm 
Instead of focusing on all these wrong turns I took 
         C                 Am 
I got yesterday here with me in tow 
              C   G                C 
I'll be on my way and I can let it go 

 
F                                                                      C 
Sometimes to see things the right side up you gotta turn things upside down 
F                                                           C 
Sometimes to fly you gotta realize our sky is right here on the ground 
F                                                           C    Am 
Sometimes the answer you're searchin' for is simply I don't know 
F                              G                     C 
Sometimes the best way to hold on... Is just letting go 

'Cause we're all just threads in the grand design 
And I'm not up ahead, and I'm not behind 
And this path I'm on, sometimes it chooses me 
When my will is gone, I can finally be free 

Chorus - C7 
Sometimes the best way to hold on... Is just letting go
