Time to let it go
Em
It won't let go of me

Hanging by a thread

Cutting the cord and then falling back into the

Black 'cause if I don't
     Em
If I wait 'til it feels right
         G
I'll be waiting my whole life
D
Closing my eyes, remember how we were like

Chorus:

Gold, when you see me

Hi, if you need me
 G                       D
Babe, that's the way it was

I have a memory
You're visiting me at night
Climbing in my bed
You were so quiet that you never woke me
I love the way you could
See the good in everything
But, do we fuel the fire?
Closing my eyes, remember how we were like

Chorus

Everything we've done
It's there on our faces for anyone willing to
Read between the lines
Now, look at where we are
Everything we've done
It's there on our faces for anyone willing to

That's the way it was
But that's history
O-o-o-o-o-o
O-o-o-o-o
That's the way it was
But that's history

C
Well, I got a feeling
 D                G
Darling, it's possible
                         C
'Cause love's got no ceiling
D               G
Now, that it's just so strong
                C
And I got a feeling
     D              G
Like everything is possible
      C         D
I'm trying to change
C
M-m-m-m-m

Hi, if you need me
Babe, that's the way it was
But that's history
