Intro : Em  Am  

Verse 1
             Em
You work like every nail sunk
Every floorboard laid
   Am
Is another deed erased
Another debt that's paid
           Em
Like every story you've erected’s gonna raise you up
            Am
So you keep slaving but it never seems to be enough

Pre-Chorus
               C         
And now you're scared that it's all gonna crash to the ground
       Em                      D                 C
So you tied a knot and started climbing your way down
         C         
When you find that you've come to the end of your rope
       Em                          D                C
Take a look and see where you were putting all your hope

Chorus
                      Em
Cause you built these gallows you've been hanging from
            D            G         
You've been holding to a noose
            C
So just let go, just let go
    D           Em
You built these gallows you've been hanging from
            D          G         
And you got nothing to lose
            C            
So just let go, just let go

Em  Am

Verse 2
           Em
I love the wood's already rotting
Though you made it clean
       Am
You've hated every short cut
Concealed it’s crooked seam
          Em
But every flaw will be revealed
Each imperfection shown
          Am
Oh, I can hear the wind howl and the timber groan

Pre-Chorus
