Passenger - Let Her Go - chords and lyrics

This song is played on Capo 7 which gives it a uniquely good sound - though I've found Capo on 6 suits my voice better. If you don't have a Capo, the chords will work just as well for you to play and sing with.
enjoy...Kom speel en sing lekker saam :-)

Let Her Go

Intro: G - Am - F - G - Em - Am - F - G

G                                               F                                             G

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
                    G                            Am
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
                     F                                  C      G
Only know you love her when you let her go
                                F                                 C
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
                    G                                 Am
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
                     F                                  C
Only know you love her when you let her go
G                      Am   F G Em Am F G  
And you let her go

Am                                     F
Staring at the bottom of your glass
                G                                 Em
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
                         Am                        F       G
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
    Am                                      F    
You see her when you close your eyes
                G                            Em
Maybe one day you'll understand why
                     Am              F       G
Everything you touch surely dies

                               F                              G                                   
But you only need the light when it's burning low
                    G                            Am
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
                     F                                  C      G
Only know you love her when you let her go
                                F                                 C
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
                    G                                 Am
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
                     F                                  C
Only know you love her when you let her go


Am                                   F
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
             G                             Em
Same old empty feeling in your heart
                          Am                        F       G
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
             Am                          F
Well you see her when you fall asleep
                  G                         Em
But never to touch and never to keep
                                   Am
'Cause you loved her too much
                          F        G
And you dived too deep

G                                               F                                             G

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
                    G                            Am
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
                     F                                  C      G
Only know you love her when you let her go
                                F                                 C
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
                    G                                 Am
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
                     F                                  C    G
Only know you love her when you let her go


                      Am  F  G
And you let her go__o_o
                      Am  F  G
And you let her go__o_o
                      Am   F  G  Em  Am  F  G
Well you let her go

G                                                   F                                             G

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
                    G                            Am
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
                     F                                  C      G
Only know you love her when you let her go
                                F                                 C
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
                    G                                 Am
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
                     F                                  C    G
Only know you love her when you let her go


'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
G                      Am  
And you let her go
