How To Let Go Ukulele chords by August Greenwood

Key: G

🎸 Verse 1:
  G    Gaug     Em
It’s true I am built like a tree
  Gaug      G     Gaug
My branches reach out and my roots
    Em    Gaug
Dig into everything around me
   C
I’ve no use for tears, and you’ve noticed
        G    Gaug   Em  Gaug
I fear almost everything

 G       Gaug     Em
I don’t have the option to break
   Gaug    G    Gaug      Em
Cause all of the people I love have their lives at stake
Gaug   C                    G Gaug
I feel so selfish, I feel so, insecure when I’m in pain

🎸 Chorus:
Em     G7
Please don’t hold me
 Em           Bm
I wouldn’t know how to let go
    Em            Bm
When the forest inside my heart continues to grow
    Em           Bm
And the roots will dig into your soul
      Em   Gaug  G G9
I want to go home
Em F9


🎸 Verse 2:
G   Gaug     Em
I am a shapeshifter, too
Gaug   G      Gaug    Em
All of my colors can change if you want them to
Gaug   C
Suited for you
                    G Gaug Em Gaug
All of my roots, help me choose who to be

 G     Gaug     Em
I don’t have control of my past
  Gaug      G     Gaug      Em
And even though I know that I still feel at fault
    Gaug       C
For the things I’ve been through
                    G Gaug
I still would be sorry, if it wasn’t for you


🎸 Chorus:
Em  G7
Please don’t hold me
 Em           Bm
I wouldn’t know how to let go
     Em          Bm
When the forest inside my heart continues to grow
    Em           Bm
And the roots will dig into your soul
      Em   Gaug  G G9
I want to go home


🎸 Verse 3:
G    Gaug    Em
I am the daughter of cups
Gaug     G        Gaug  Em
Everything to offer, but it’s never enough
   Gaug    C
I’ll give you my soul if it means
                G  Gaug
I will fill up that hole in your heart


Chrous:
Em     G7
Please don’t hold me
  Em            Bm
I’m still learning how to let go
    Em           Bm
When the forest inside my heart continues to grow
    Em           Bm
And the roots will dig into your soul
      Em  Gaug  G G9
I want to go home
Em  F9


🎸 Bridge:
Em      Gaug
I will never know if you're sorry
G       Gaug
You will never know how you hurt me
   C
And I wonder if you think about
                Em   G7
The nights we spent on concrete floors
    Em    F9        G   Gaug Em Gaug
Or the words you said behind closed doors


🎸 Outro:
G    Gaug    Em
I am protecting my heart
Gaug     G       Gaug   Em
Digging up my roots to replant for a start
Gaug     C
I shake your hand, make peace with the land
          G Gaug Em Gaug
That you held over me
       Em  F9
Which you'll never see

G
