Intro: D / Dsus4 D / Dsus4 G Asus4 /
A (x2)
.......D.........................G...
You told me yourself you were a writer
.........................................A.......
You followed every rhyme and theme right through
...........D.......................G..
I never suspected I was a one nighter
......A.............................A7................
But there was this line - I'm gonna keep it for you
Chorus:
.....................D....Dus4................D....Dsus4
'Cause you let it go,
you let that line go
D............G.........Asus4.............A..
You let it go, and you call yourself a writer
..................D..Dsus4................D....Dsus4
You let it go,
you let that line go
D............G............A..................
You let it go - I'm gonna keep it for you
D.................................G....
Some people think you're quite amazing
......................,.............A...
They heard you do your songs on radio
......D........................................G....
But somewhere in that sweet there's bitter tasting
...........A..........................A7............
'Cause down deep inside you know that somebody knows
- Repeat chorus -
A.............D..........................................
I'm gonna play it out loud, I'm gonna do it one more time
..........G.............................A...........
I'm gonna do it in my show, I want the world to know
...D........................................
It just takes one night to make a reputation
..G......................Asus4.........A..
It just takes one lie to break a heart
.......D......................................
And it just takes one line to make a song sing
.................G...............A(6).........
But you let it go and I want the world to know -
A..............
you let it
go

So let me pose this question while you're posing
...................................A..
Let me wonder why - that's what I do
...........D.................................G...
I saw you open your eyes while mine were closing
........A.....................A7.................
Did you take it all down from your point of view?
