[Em] [C] [G] [D]
[Em] [C] [G] [D]
Verse
[Em] [C]
This boy wants to play
[G]
There's no time left today
[D]
It's a shame 'cause he has to go home
[Em] [C]
This boy's got to work
[G] [D]
Got to sweat just to pay what he gets to get left all alone
Bridge
[Am] [C]
Well let's step outside
[G]
Let's go for a ride
[D]
Just for a while
[Am] [C]
No we won't get caught
[G] [D]
Well that's what I thought, until we cried
Chorus
[G]
I'm still here
[B7]
But it hasn't been easy
[Em] [Cm]
I'm sure that you had your reasons
[G] [B7]
I'm scared for this emotion
[C] [A]
For years I've been holding it down
[Cm]
For years I've been holding it down
Verse 2
[Em] [C]
This girl tries her best everyday
[G] [D]
But it's all gone to waste 'cause there's no one around
[Em] [C]
This girl she can draw she can paint
[G]
Likes to dance she can skate
[D]
Now she don't make a sound
Bridge
[Am] [C]
We'll play in the park
[G] [D]
'Till it's too dark for us to see
[Am] [C]
Well we'll make our way home
[G]
With mud on our clothes
[D]
She won't be pleased
Chorus
[G]
I'm still here
[B7]
But it hasn't been easy
[Em] [Cm]
I'm sure that you had your reasons
[G] [B7]
I'm scared for this emotion
[C] [A]
For years I've been holding it down
[G] [B7]
And I, love to forgive and forget
[Em] [Cm]
So I, try to put all this behind us
[G] [B7]
Just, know that my arms are wide open
[C] [A] [Cm]
The older I get, the more that I know
[Cm]
Well it's time to let this go
[D]
I got to let it go (x4)
[Play Chorus]
[G] [B7]
And I, love to forgive and forget
[Em] [Cm]
So I, try to put all this behind us
[G] [B7]
Just, know that my arms are wide open
[C] [A] [Cm]
The older I get, the more that I know
[Cm] [G]
Well it's time to let this go
