Letting You Go: Jason Robert Brown
Tabbed by Robin Young
Sweeping up plaster
Mopping the floor
Washing the windows
Cleaning the closets
Closing the door
Filling the cracks
Out in the hall
Scraping the paint
Off of the wall
Bm7(add4)
Changing the lock
Turning the key
Letting you go
Away from me
Knowing it’s better
Here in my head
Doing the laundry
Washing the dishes
Making the bed
Nothing to fight
Nothing to choose
Maybe it’s good
Learning to lose
Maybe I’ll shine
C(add2)
Finally free
Letting you go
Away from me
If I were smart
C(add2)
If I were strong
If I could just
Say I was wrong
Say it was me
C(add2)
Say I could move
Make you believe
C(add2)
These things improve
Could I forget
All of the cracks
Deep in the ground
Under our tracks
And if I could
B7(B9)/Eb
Then would you see
Em9 C(add2) Em7 C6
Or would you go away
Would you go away
Facing the facts
C(add2)
Watching the clock
Maybe you’ll change
Just down the block
And if you did
Where would I be?
Letting you go
Away from me
