Guitar Chords for Let Her Go
[Chorus]
Well you only need the (F) light when it’s burning (C) low
Only miss the (G) sun when it starts to (Am) snow
Only know you (F) love her when you let her go (C) (G)
Only know you’ve been (F) high when you’re feeling (C) low
Only hate the (G) road when you’re missing (Am) home
Only know you (F) love her when you let her go (C)
[Post-Chorus]
(G) And you let her go
[Verse 1]
(Am) Staring at the bottom of your (F) glass
Hoping (G) one day you’ll make a dream (Em) last
But dreams come (Am) slow and they go so (F) fast (G)
You (Am) see her when you close your (F) eyes
Maybe (G) one day you’ll understand (Em) why
Everything you (Am) touch surely (F) dies (G)

[Verse 2]
(Am) Staring at the ceiling in the (F) dark
Same old (G) empty feeling in your (Em) heart
Cause love comes (Am) slow and it goes so (F) fast (G)
[Chorus]
Well you (Am) see her when you fall (F) asleep
But never to (G) touch and never to (Em) keep
Cause you loved her too (Am) much and you dived too (F) deep (G)
Cause you only need the (F) light when it’s burning (C) low
Only miss the (G) sun when it starts to (Am) snow

Ohhh, (F) oh (G) no
Well you let her (Am) go (F) (G) (Em)
(Am) (F) (G)
