[Verse]

Em C G D

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything.

Em C D

Always stepped in time, regardless of the beat

Em C

I moved my feet, I carried weight

G D

When I could not do I Faked

Em C

I dug seeking treasure

D C C/B Am G

Just to wake up in an early grave

So I stopped right there and said

[Chorus]

G D

Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow.

Em C

This isn't giving up, no this is letting go

G D

Out with the old dreams I've borrowed

Em C

The path I carve from here on out will be my own

C D

The path will be my own

[Bridge]

Em C G D

Em C D

[Verse]

Em C

This is the part where the needle skips

G D

And the chorus plays like a sink that drips

Em C D

A syllable repeating, like a warning we aren't heeding

Em C

Until all of a sudden we noticed it

G D

When the wheels brace and the tires grip

Em C

A map we've been misreading

A defeat we're not conceding

C C/B Am G

Until now

There must be some other way out

[Chorus]

G D

Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow.

Em C

This isn't giving up, no this is letting go

G D

Out with the old dreams I've borrowed

Em C

The path I carve from here on out will be my own

G D

A path to take me home

I just know

The wind died

The whole world ceased to move

Her beating heart became a boom
