Dm                    C        G
Cold as it was for a winter’s day
Dm                           C       G
The sun came up ’cause the sky was grey
Am                 G          F
The wolves are back, they’ve come to play
Am           G           F
I thought I heard your father say
Dm                               C     G
Go down to the tunnel where the devil wants ya
Dm                           C      G
Out to the street where the people hunt ya
Am                G          F
It hurt more than it was supposed to

Chorus:
                       F    Am G
I was waiting for the let go
                             F     Am G
I swore I wouldn’t ’til you said so
                         F
I put the pieces back together so,
      Am       G
thank you or whatever
                 F                  Am  G
Nothing lasts forever, man, I guess so
                 F    Am G
Waiting for the let go
                 F    Am G
Waiting for the let go

Out of the grey, into the woods
I take my chances, I know I should
When the light comes, listen closely
Follow my shadow to the old me
Mother of the moon, tell me what to do
Shit is scary, shit is new
The tide is calling out for changes
Oh, what an ocean of time that we wasted

Chorus

Dm                            F
I had to pay for all of your bad behavior
       Am                 G                   Dm
But expensive lessons are always the best to know

Chorus:
I'm not waiting for the let go
Don't need any of your say so
I put the pieces back together
So thank you or whatever
Nothing lasts forever, man, I guess so
Waiting for the let go
Waiting for the let go

I was waiting for the let go
I swore I wouldn't 'til you said so
I put the pieces back together
So thank you or whatever
Nothing lasts forever, man, I guess so
Waiting for the let go
Waiting for the let go
Huh, haha
