[Chorus]
Well, you only need the Flight when it's burning lowC  
Only miss the Gsun when it starts to snAmow
Only know you lFove her when you let her goC  G  
Only know you've been Fhigh when you're feeling lowC  
Only hate the Groad when you're missin' hoAmme
Only know you lFove her when you let her goC  
GAnd you let her go

Maybe Gone day you'll understand Emwhy
Everything you Amtouch surely dFiesG

Only hate the Groad when you're missin' hoAmme
Only know you lFove her when you let her goC  G

AmStaring at the ceiling in the Fdark
Same old Gempty feeling in your Emheart
'Cause love comes slAmow and it goes sFo fastG  
Well you Amsee her when you fall asFleep
But never to Gtouch and never to Emkeep
'Cause you loved her too Ammuch
And you dived toFo deepG  
[Chorus]
Well, you only need the Flight when it's burning lowC  
Only miss the Gsun when it starts to snAmow
Only know you lFove her when you let her goC  G  
Only know you've been Fhigh when you're feeling lowC  
Only hate the Groad when you're missin' hoAmme
Only know you lFove her when you let her gCoG

Only miss the Gsun when it starts to snAmow
Only know you lFove her when you let her goC  G  
Only know you've been Fhigh when you're feeling lowC  
Only hate the Groad when you're missin' hoAmme

Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
