E  B/D#               C#m
Is it supposed to be like
  G#m                 A
A never-ending train ride?
   G#m                     F#m           B
Or waiting for a grey sky to turn to sun?
E  B/D#            C#m
I kiss you when I feel it
    G#m                   A
We talk like we're defeated
       G#m                          F#m          B
We’re just scared of bein' quitters after this love

    A                 G#m                B
So won't you say the words we’re chokin' on?

Chorus:
                   E          B/D#
I need to let you go, let you go
      C#m           G#m
It's better for us both
           A              G#m          F#m
You don't see it, but I'm doin' us a favour
B                  E          B/D#
I need to let you go, let you go
        C#m                 G#m
'Cause when you know, you know
          A                     G#m             F#m
And it's hurting right now, but you’ll thank me later
B                  E
I need to let you go

Let’s not decorate the sadness
Let's just rip off the Band-Aid
And hug and say it’s okay, we stop right here
The sooner that we're not together
You'll find someone better
But if we're gonna get there
Oh, if we’re gonna get there

Chorus:
I need to let you go, let you go
It's better for us both
You don't see it, but I'm doin' us a favour
I need to let you go (Let you go), let you go
(Let you go)
'Cause when you know, you know
And it's hurting right now,
but you'll thank me later
I need to let you go

        G#m                  A
I know nothing's ever promised
    E               C#m
But I hate walkin' away
             G#m             A
'Cause this isn't how I saw it
 E                     F#m
Tears running down my face
         G#m                A
I know nothing's ever promised
    B               F#m
But I hate walkin' away
            G#m             A
'Cause this isn't how I saw it

Chorus:
I need to let you go, let you go
It's better for us both
You don't see it, but I'm doin' us a favour
I need to let you go (Let you go), let you go
(Let you go)
'Cause when you know, you know
(When you know, you know)
And it's hurting right now,
but you'll thank me later
I need to let you go (Let you go)

I know nothing's ever promised (Let you go)
(When you know, you know, let you go)
'Cause this isn't how I saw it
I need to let you go
