     Em
Let it slide
All the choices I made
        B
Let it burn
As it rolls down my face
        G
Let it fall
         Am
Just to be the one again
          Bm
But if I want
I won't be loved by you at all
        Em
Let it slip
Every promise I break
        B
Let it burn
All the blows that we trade
        G
Let it fall
              Am
'cause this place has been condemned
             Bm
And we both know
               B
That we can't be here anymore

Chorus:
 C
Yeah, I know I pulled a pin on your heart
       Em
But I lost sight of the target
when you let down your guard
             D
Should've run, run a hundred miles
Never look back, Jack,
'cause now we can't backtrack
                              C
And yeah, I know what you'll say,
nothing can change
                              Em
No one to blame, it's on the tip of my tongue
Here it comes, this is crazy,
             D
you should know that
I would go back in a heartbeat
Just to make your heart beat

Let it fail
It's too late to be saved
Let it roll
They're all across this grey
Let it blaze
There's a darkness in the flame
And it's lost
And we can't bear it anymore
Let it slide
I can't start it again
Let it burn
While it's held in my hand
Let it fall
'cause this journey's at its end
It's only luck
That I was loved by you at all

Chorus - x2
