Bm            A          Em         D
I caught you watching me under the light
          Bm A Em D
Can I realign?
Bm            A        Em          D
They say it’s easy to leave you behind
               Bm A Em D
I don’t wanna try

Bm          A
Cut cover, take that test
Em            D
Hold courage to your chest
Bm           A
Don’t wanna wait for you
Em           D
Don’t wanna have to lose
Bm          A
All that I compromised
Em        D
To feel another high
Bm           A             Em  D
I've got to keep it down tonight

Chorus:
Bm      A    Em
And oh, oh, oh
D        Bm         A       Em D
I was a king under your control
Bm      A    Em
And oh, oh, oh
D        Bm               A     Em
I wanna feel like you've let me go
    D
So let me go

Don’t you remember how
I used to like being on the line?
I dreamed you dreamed of me calling out my name
Is it worth the price?

Cut cover, take that test
Hold courage to your chest
Don’t wanna wait for you
Don’t wanna have to lose all that I've compromised
To feel another high
I’ve got to keep it down tonight

Chorus:
And, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I was a king under your control
And, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I wanna feel like you've let me go

Em         D              Bm   A
I had to break myself to carry on
Em           D             Bm         A
No love and no admission, take this from me tonight

Oh-oh, let's fight
Oh-oh-oh, let's fight
Oh-oh, let's fight
Oh-oh-oh

Chorus:
And, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I was a king under your control
And, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I wanna feel like you’ve let me go
So let me go

Let go, let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go, let go of everything
