Let Him Fly

Ain't no talkin' (D)to this man.

Ain't no pretty other side.

Ain't no way to understand the

stupid words of pride.

It would (A)take an acrobat,

but, I already (Gmaj9)tried all that.

(A)So, I'm gonna (D)let him fly.

(A)Gonna let him (D)fly.

Things can move at such a pace.

The second hand just waved goodbye.

You know the light has left his face,

but, you can't recall just where or why.

So, there was (A)really nothin' to it.

I just went (Gmaj9)and cut right through it.

Said I'm, I'm gonna (D)let him fly.

(D5)There's no (G)mercy in a live wire.

No rest at (Bm)all in freedom.

(Em7)Of the choices we are given,

there's no choice (Bm)at all.

(G)The proof is in the fire

you touch (D)before it moves (Bm7)away,

yeah, yeah.

(Em9)But, you must always know how long to stay (A)and when to go.

And there ain't no talkin' (D)to this man.

He's been try'n to tell me so.

It took a while (Gmaj9)to understand

the beauty of (Bm)just letting go.

'Cause it would take an acrobat.

I (Em9)already tried all that.

(A5)I'm gonna (D)let him fly.

(Gsus2)I'm gonna (A)let him (D)fly,

(Gmaj9)fly, (A)oh.

(Gsus2)I'm gonna (A)let him (D)fly,

(Gmaj9)fly, (A)oh.

(G)I'm gonna let him (D)fly.
