Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Every shred of hope collides in your heart

 with the fear of losing what you've just given up

 As the moments pass you pray to survive

 All these lonely minutes that once kept you alive

, , , x2

 Try to change the expression that's worn out your face

 As you lose the momentum of your past living ways

 Every song is a channel for the memories to keep

 Floating in your head as you're left asking

 Why did I choose to let it all go

 was it the fear of needing

 or the doubts I let show

 I never gave up fighting

 I never said goodbye

, , , x2

So why? Why did we let go?

 Every day is a new breath, but the battle's still on

 Trying hard to elude them by keeping my head strong

 Still I feel the exhaustion of wanting your kiss

 As I'm left here asking the same dumb question

Why did I choose to let it all go

 was it the fear of needing

 or the doubts I let show

 I never gave up fighting

 I never said goodbye

 So why? Why did we let go?

 You never showed that you were scared of losing me

 And you didn't fight to make me stay in your arms.

So I'm left asking.....

Why did I choose to let it all go

 Was it the fear of needing

 or the doubts I let show

 I never gave up fighting

 I never said goodbye

 So why? Why did we let go?

 Yeah, Yeah, da da da da da, yeah

Why did we let go?

(one strum for these last lines)

 I never gave up fighting,

 I never said goodbye

 So why? Why did we let go?
