G#m C#m B F#/A#


[Verse 1]
G#m            C#mI used to live lit by the flame
G#m                   F#   I used to give the shadows names
G#m                    C#m   My eyes would strain   in the dim light
B          F#/A#  I was so proud of my birthright


[Verse 2]
B                    C#m  If I couldn’t look into the fire
     G#mthen how could I stand the
F#light of the day?
G#m                       C#m   But once I knew it was out
             B         F#/A#here I could never stay.


[Chorus 1]
E                          B   F#  You don’t have to let it own you
E  You don’t have to let it
B  F#      Ebe who you are forever.
B         F#     E  You can let it go
        B          F#You can let it all go.

[Verse 3]
G#m                  C#m   For the wisdom of man is folly
G#m                     F#   and their wickedness tempts us away
G#m                 C#m   It was such a convenient prophecy
B            F#/A#   It held a powerful sway


[Verse 4]
G#m                   C#m   Guilt shouldn’t be any mind’s penance
G#m                   F#   and love shrouds itself not in shame
G#m                  C#m   I’m gonna do what makes me happy
B                       F#/A#      G#m B F#   should never be this hard to say


[Chorus 2]
E                          B   F#  You don’t have to let it own you
E  You don’t have to let it
B  F#      Ebe who you are forever.
B         F#     E  You can let it go
        B          F#You can let it all go.

[Verse 5]
G#m                      BSometimes I wonder if it wouldn’t
   F#/A#     G#mbe better if I weren’t so damned
 B              F#/A# G#mscared of lying to  myself
                         BSometimes I wonder if it wouldn’t

[Verse 6]
G#m                     B         F#/A#   If I’d just stayed inside that closet
G#m                        B   F#/A#   and kept my world that small
G#m                    B        F#/A#   Because right now I might be freer
    G#m                    B     F#/A#but I don’t know where the edges are


[Verse 7]
G#m          B   F#/A#   But isn’t it amazing?
G#m       B      F#/A# G#m   To run toward every-thing?
           B      F#/A#To grasp into the ether?
G#m                   B       F#/A#   It’s terrifying to be this free


[Verse 8]
G#m     B     F#/A#   It's breathtaking
G#m     B     F#/A#   It's breathtaking
G#m     B     F#/A#   It's breathtaking
G#m     B     F#/A#   It's breathtaking


[Chorus 3]
E                          B   F#  You don’t have to let it own you
E  You don’t have to let it
B  F#      Ebe who you are forever.
B         F#     E  You can let it go
        B          F#You can let it all go.


[Chorus 4]
E                        B   F#  I don’t want to let it own me
E                     B  but it’s gonna be a part
   F#      Eof who I am forever.
B         F#     E  I can’t let it go but
      B           F#I can make it all go.

G#m          B           F#   I work to make it all go
G#m B        F#    Don’t go back
G#m B          F#    Don’t ever rest
