Capo 3

Intro

    x2


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

Bridge 1

          
Oh, let it go

Cos, you wake up in happy days

Face the music

In your eyes you’ve made your bed

Chorus

                    
Read what the papers say
                      
Your dancing days are over

The smile on your face will never hide your shame
                          
You can’t escape what they say

Your dancing days are over
                                                
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name


Verse 2

Oh how you danced
           
Oh how you sang
                               
There’s a feeling here that you began
           
Oh how you stood and stared
          
Held onto every breath
              
It seemed the world stood still
              
Transfixed by every step

Bridge 2
          
Oh, let it go

Cos a lesser man would be your crowd
             
Captivation, lesser men will tear you down


Chorus

Post chorus

The ghosts you see are shouting out your name

The very crowd demand it's not to blame

The demi man celebrates his pain

So glad to be with him through your pain


Middle 8
                
Old man sings his final song
                    
And wonders where it all went wrong


Chorus x2

Outro

The ghosts you see are shouting out your name

The very crowd demands it's not to blame

The demi man celebrates his pain
                              (Finish)  
So glad to be with us through your pain
