Chorus:
                        G#                      D#
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
               A#                       Cm
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
               G#                         D# A#
Only know you love her when you let her go
                       G#                       D#
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
               A#                         Cm
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
               G#                        D# A#
Only know you love her when you let her go
                 Cm
And you let her go

Cm                             G#
Staring at the bottom of your glass
       A#                           Gm
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
                 Cm              G#     A#
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
    Cm                           G#
You see her when you close your eyes
      A#                         Gm
Maybe one day you'll understand why
                Cm         G#   A#
Everything you touch surely dies

Chorus:
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much and you dived too deep

Chorus:
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
