Intro

Em B7 G Asus2 x2


Verse 1
Em               B7
Young man with a stone to throw
G                      Asus2
Take a breath and just let it go
Em               B7
Angry man with a cross to bare
G                      Asus2
Now you seem life just isn't fair

Bridge 1

C          G
Oh, let it go
Am
Cos, you wake up in happy days

Face the music
C
In your eyes you've made your bed

Chorus

G                    D
Read what the papers say
                      C
Your dancing days are over

The smile on your face will never hide your shame
G                          D
You can't escape what they say
C
Your dancing days are over
                                             Em B7 G Asus2
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name


Verse 2
Em
Oh how you danced
           B7
Oh how you sang
          G                     Asus2
There's a feeling here that you began
           Em
Oh how you stood and stared
          B7
Held onto every breath
              G
It seemed the world stood still
              Asus2
Transfixed by every step

Bridge 2
C          G
Oh, let it go
Am
Cos a lesser man would be your crowd
             C
Captivation, lesser men will tear you down


Chorus

Post chorus
Am
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name
C
The very crowd demand it's not to blame
Am
The demi man celebrates his pain
C
So glad to be with him through your pain


Middle 8
Em                B7
Old man sings his final song
G                    Asus2
And wonders where it all went wrong


Chorus x2

Outro
Am
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name
C
The very crowd demands it's not to blame
Am
The demi man celebrates his pain
C                              (Finish)  Em
So glad to be with us through your pain
