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
 
D / Dsus4.....D / Dsus4......G......Asus4....A  (x2)
   

.....D.......................................G..
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?


- Repeat Chorus -
