G       G/F#          G/F     G/E
I never jumped in and rescued you
      Cadd9
but I wanted to
G        G/F#           G/F    G/E
I didn't tell you which way to go,
         Cadd9              riff 2
'cause I thought you'd know
G         G/F#              G/F
You had a problem with your new-found
G/E                    Cadd9
wealth, you brought it on yourself
G       G/F#       G/F      G/E      Cadd9
I never told you I told you so, but I told you so

Chorus:

riff 1
Have to let it go
riff 2
It's time to let it go
G     Em    A   D
Now I can't believe
G          Em   A   D
It took so long to leave
G           Em  A    D
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
     Cadd9
Or I never will

riff 2
G       G/F#       G/F         G/E
I never told you I agreed with you,
        Cadd9
I don't think I do
G        G/F#                G/F  
I wasn't sure quite what the whole thing
G/E             Cadd9           riff 2
meant, but I'm glad you went
G       G/F#                 G/F     G/E
I never thought that it could be painless,
    Cadd9
but it is I guess
G        G/F#            G/F     G/E
I had myself fooled into needing you,
      Cadd9
did I fool you too?

Chorus

Em      G                  D            A
A viral infection that can incubate for years
Em         G               D          A
Caused by affection fallen deep into arrears
Em     G         D
No medication to procure
         A                D          G
Makes me pure, there's no cure, I am sure

G       G/F#               G/F        G/E
I never mentioned how I've prayed for you,
        Cadd9
and now I've paid for you
G       G/F#              G/F      G/E
I never said that I would wait for you,
         Cadd9
it's too late for you

Chorus
