E*
Heads down, buried in the sand
E*                                    G*
She's back now, I better wash my hands
AShe talks like a man gettin' higher than I can
                             G*   E
Lovin' me when I'm in a rock band
E*
Let her go
[Chorus]
DShe's living in shadows
Waits there in the shadows tonAight
                           G*  E
And sleeps on a bed of nails
E*
Let her go
[Verse]
E*
Close the window, it's time to shut the door
E*
Say a prayer now, and get down on the floor
AThere's a howling wind blowing through my brain
                                      G* E 
Moving in slow, just like the hurricane
E*
Let her go
[Chorus]

Waits there in the shadows tonAight
And sleeps on a bed of nailsE  
E*
Let her go
E*
Oh let her go

Yeah, let her go

                                        G#G* E  
There's no tears left inside for one to show
