         B
I could tell you the truth
          G#m             D#m   C#
But you'd call me a liar (Liar, li-liar)
          B
Tried to wave a white flag
        G#m             D#m  C#
But you set it on fire (Fire)

                                             B
(And that's when you start asking yourself why)
              G#m
You cry, they don't
              D#m
Every single night
                A#m
That's how you know

Chorus:
                  B                 G#m
You gotta let it go, sometimes you just can't fix it
D#m                         C#
You love somebody, love somebody
                        B
But you gotta let them go
           G#m
Before you go down with 'em
D#m                           C#             B G#m D#m
Can't love somebody who loves burning bridges
C#            B G#m D#m
Burning bridges

I used "sorry" to keep you
And that was my error (Error, my error)
Ooh, 'cause I tore me apart
Tryna hold us together (Together)

(And that's when you start asking yourself why)
You cry, they don't
Every single night
That's how you know

Chorus:
That you gotta let it go
Sometimes, you just can't fix it
You love somebody, love somebody
But you gotta let them go
Before you go down with them
Can't love somebody who loves burnin' bridges

B              G#m
You cry, they don't
D#m             C#
That's how you know
B              G#m
You cry, they don't
D#m             C#
That's how you know
                  B
You gotta let it go, oh, oh

Chorus:
You gotta let it go, oh, oh
Sometimes, you just can't fix it
You love somebody, love somebody
But you gotta let 'em go
Before you go down with them
Can't love somebody who loves burnin' bridges

You cry, they don't (Oh)
That's how you know
You cry, they don't
That's how you know
