You told me yourself you were a writer
A
You followed every line and theme right through
D G
I never suspected I was a one-nighter
A
But there was this line, I'm gonna keep it for you

CHORUS:

'Cause you let it go

You let that line go, you let it go
A
And you call yourself a writer

You let it go

You let that line go, you let it go
A
I'm gonna keep it for you

A
They heard you do your songs on radio
D G
But somewhere in that sweet there's bitter tasting
A
'Cause down deep inside, you know that somebody knows

D
You let it go

You let that line go, you let it go

I'm gonna play it out loud

I'm gonna do it one more time

I want the world to know, you let it go

D G
So, let me pose this question while you're posing
A
Let me wonder why, that's what I do
D G
I saw you open your eyes while mine were closing
A
Did you take it all down from your point of view

CHORUS:
D
Or did you let it go
G
You let that line go, you let it go
A
And you call yourself a writer
D
You let it go
G
You let that line go, you let it go
A
I'm gonna keep it for you

D
I'm gonna play it out loud

I'm gonna do it one more time
G A
I'm gonna do it my show

I want the world to know

D
That it just takes one night to make a reputation
G A
It just takes one lie to break a heart
D
And it just takes one line to make a song sing
G
You let me go
D
And I want the world to know, you let it go
