Standard (EADGBE)

 Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride

 It would take an acrobat, and I already tried all that

 I'm gonna let him fly

Things can move at such a pace

The second hand just waved goodbye

 You know the light has left his face

But you can't recall just where or why

 So there was really nothing to it

 I just went and cut right through it

 I said I'm gonna let him fly yeah

 There's no mercy in a live wire

 No rest at all in freedom

The choices we are given it's no choice at all

 The proof is in the fire

 You touch before it moves away

But you must always know how long to stay and when to go

 And there ain't no talkin to this man

He's been tryin to tell me so

 It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go

 Cause it would take an acrobat, I already tried all that

I'm gonna let him fly

I'm gonna let him fly fly

I'm gonna let him fly
