[Verse]
G D
I felt the tug of the ties that bind
C
As I crossed that city limit sign
G D
Drivin' past that school reminds me
C D
Of what I had with her
G D
A lotta roads under neath these wheels
C
A lotta wounds that time has healed
Em D
But time ain't changed the way I fell
C D
Or the way things were
[Chorus]
C G D
I've let go chasin' those long ago dreams
C G
Turned the pages on some old memories
F C G D
I've gotten over a lot of what I've been through
C G
And I've let go of thinkin' I could ever go back
D C
Broke the chains to ghosts from my past
F C D
When it comes to her one thing holds true
C D G
There's a whole lot of lettin' go that's left to do
[Verse]
G D
I drove out to her family farm
C
But the live oak trees and fields were gone
G D
Rows of houses with manicured lawns
C D
Sat staring back at me
G D
Just like the fire from a childhood flame
C
Guess we're all just victims of the winds of change
Em D
The way things are, they're never the same
C D
As the way things ought to be
[Chorus]
C G D
I've let go chasin' those long ago dreams
C G
Turned the pages on some old memories
F C G D
I've gotten over a lot of what I've been through
C G
And I've let go of thinkin' I could ever go back
D C
Broke the chains to ghosts from my past
F C D
When it comes to her one thing holds true
C D G
There's a whole lot of lettin' go that's left to do
[Outro]
C G
And I've let go of thinkin' I could ever go back
D C
Broke the chains to ghosts from my past
F C D
When it comes to her one thing holds true
C D G
There's a whole lot of lettin' go that's left to do
