verse 1 

         C 
All this time  
       F                 C 
it was staring me in the face 
G/B          Am 
I was so far gone 
             F                  G 
I could have ended it right there 
                  C     F           C    G/B Am 
I was dead in the ring, lost in the race  
         C  
All this time it was with me  
G                  C 
when I was nowhere 


verse 2 

        F        C 
Well it cuts the deepest 
         F               C  G/B Am 
when you watch it moving in 
                C 
And there ain't nothing 
        F             G 
you can do to turn it round 
               C         F        C    G/B Am 
There ain't no armor can save you then 
              C 
Love takes no prisoners 
G                    C 
on this battleground 


[Refrão]
            F 
And letting go 
               C 
is the hardest part 
             Em 
When holding on 
         F        Gsus4 
has been everything 
                 C    F         Am     F 
Well I have this pain deep in my heart 
             C 
That's why I sing, 
G             C  
 that's why I sing

verse 3 

F      C 
Cut me open 
F                 C 
when I'm dead and gone 
       G/B      Am 
You'll see this one ring, 
F               G 
stained dark as wine 
         C            F          C    G/B Am 
This was always to be part of my story 
              C 
Not yours but mine, 
G             C 
not yours but mine 
  


[Refrão]
            F 
And letting go 
               C 
is the hardest part 
        Em 
Holding on, 
     F            G 
some semblance of control 
                 C    F          Am   F 
Well I have this pain  deep in my heart 
               C 
But I am still whole, 
G          C 
I am still whole 


           F                         C 
And I will waste my heart on fear no more 
       F             C                G 
I will find a secret bell and make it ring 
               C    F                C 
And let the rest be washed up on the shore 
F               C      Gsus4 G      Am 
  They can't be tamed, these wilder things 
F                  C      G             C   
  No, they can't be tamed, these wilder things
