     C#              Emaj7
The same, always the same
 F#                          B
Bitter words are all that remain
         G#m              Emaj7
Of the dream that had taken you in
    F#                              B
But all her words were dust in the wind

Chorus:
      C#       A#m     B
It's time to draw the line
             F#
To draw the fire
  D#m
Why'd you never know
     A#m
The time to let go
     B             C#
The time to move aside
   A#m      B
To let it slide

Say, what's that you say?
Time to move on and you're in the way
Lets get to the end and not turn around
She built you up so she could knock you down

Chorus

  G#m              C#
Friend, there's nothing there
        F#             B
You're clinging on to air
        G#m     C#
You're reaching back
    F#                 B
To something that you never had

Chorus:
It's time to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide
To let it slide
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide
