[Intro]
*Main Riff 4x*
[Verse]
A A*
These humingbirds are not made for winter
A A*
Still I dont mind the snow and the cold could make them strong
A A*
I too can leave a trail of stressed out interns
A A*
Spread them all around the world, over airports and conference halls
[Chorus]
A E5 A E5
But if you'd just let me think for a while, I would let go in the long run
A E5
If you'd just let my heart go wild, I would let go
*Main Riff 2x*
[Verse 2]
A A*
These tropical birds will never stand the morning frost
A A*
Still wouldn't it be nice to have them singing by the bed?
A A*
And I wouldn't mind to find what was never lost
A A*
To collect as many possible collectibles before you're dead
[Chorus]
A E5 A E5
But if you'd just let me think for a while, I would let go in the long run
A E5 A E5 **
If you'd just let my heart go wild, I would let go, let go, of you
**Begin Break Riff
~ = let ring
0* means to fret at the 7th position to match the capo (use your thumb)
