[Notes]
- The chords are picked throughout in pattern similar to the Intro.
- Chords fingerings presented here are named by pitch rather than
by position on the fret board. Given that this is D tuning, G is
played at the 5th fret rather than the 3rd fret (standard tuning).
This should make it easier to just play chords in standard tuning
or whatever tuning you like. They have the correct name.
- Drop D version of tabs at bottom.

everyone pretendin' ... on to everything
everyone believin' ... waitin' to explode
[Verse 1]
G G
Good mornin' everyone, gather 'round, grab a chair
D Em7
Make yourself a drink, blow your smoke into the air
G G D Em7
Contemporary sadness and fire-breathin' dragons are everywhere
G G
But the days go by here in old Belvedere
D Em7
And the way that it goes is just the way that it is
G G D Em
But do you ever wonder if anyone is ever gonna make it out?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G D
Is it wonder? Is it fame?
G D(4)
Or is it popularity that ruins everything?
G D
It's the river, not the rain
G G#m A G
Why is everyone pretendin' that there's not a drop to drink?
F#m F#m Fm Em
There you are holdin' on to everything
[Chorus]
N.C. G
Let it all go, man
D Em7
Let it all go, man
G
Let it all go, man
D Em
Let it all go
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G G
So I build up a fence around the man in me
D Em7
As the Mayan and the misanthrope argue in the street
G G D Em7
Angelic eyes of sadness and fire-breathin' dragons are all I see
G G
But the longer I stand and the more I awake
D Em7
The cracks in my hand and the lines on my face
G G D Em7
Fail to remind me the frail and the blind see the same as me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G D
Is it madness or is it fear?
G D(4)
My brother, I'm not really sure after all these years
G D
Is it wonder? Is it love?
G G#m A G
Or is everyone believin' that it's under their control?
F#m F#m Fm Em
Here we are, just waitin' to explode
[Chorus]
N.C. G
Let it all go, man
D Em7
Let it all go, man

Let it all go, man

Just let it all go, man
