Chorus:
D C G
Well, you only need the light when it’s burning low,
D Em
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow,
C G D
Only know you love her when you let her go.
C G
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low,
D Em
Only hate the road when you’re missing home,
C G D
Only know you love her when you let her go,
D
And you let her go.
Instrumental: Em Cmaj | D Bm7 | Em Cmaj | D Dsus4 D
Em Cmaj
Staring at the bottom of your glass,
D Bm7
Hoping one day you’ll make a dream last,
Em Cmaj D Dsus4 D
But dreams come slow and they go so fast.
Em Cmaj
You see her when you close your eyes,
D Bm7
Maybe one day you’ll understand why
Em Cmaj D
Everything you touch surely dies.

Em Cmaj
Staring at the ceiling in the dark,
D Bm7
Same old empty feeling in your heart,
Em Cmaj D Dsus4 D
’Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast.
Em Cmaj
Well you see her when you fall asleep,
D Bm7
But never to touch and never to keep,
Em
’Cause you loved her too much
Cmaj D
And you dived too deep.
