Chorus:
                         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 missin' home
               C                         G   D
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Em C D Bm Em C D D

 Em                             C
Staring at the bottom of your glass
       D                            Bm
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
                 Em               C       D
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
     Em                         C
You see her when you close your eyes
      D                          Bm
Maybe one day you'll understand why
                Em           C     D
Everything you touch surely dies

Chorus:
                        C                       G
But, 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 missin' home
               C                         G   D
Only know you love her when you let her go

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

Chorus:
                         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
                Em C D
And you let her go-o-o-o
                Em C D
And you let her go-o-o-o
                Em C D Bm Em C D
And you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
               D                        Em
Only hate the road when you're missing home

Only know you love her when you let her go
