Verse
[C] [E]
Once there was a melody
[F]
That came from the depths of me
[E]
That's how it starts...
[C] [E]
It came from another place
[F]
Trail I can never trace
[Am] [E]
No matter how hard
[C]
And it's strange how
[F#]
the story's yours now
[F] [E] [Am]
As it leaves my voice
[C] [F#]
There was not a choice
[F] [D] [Am]
But to release you...
Chorus
[C]
There was a time
[D]
Oh, to release you
When you were mine

Oh, to release you
And now you're free
[E]
Oh, to release you

'Cause I released you
[Am]
Oh, to release you

Oh, to release you
When you were mine

Oh, to release you
And now you're free
[E]
Oh, to release you

'Cause I released you

Oh, to release you
