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.

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.

     Only know you love her when you let her go.

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.
