Capo 6  

Em  Am   

Verso 1 
             Em 
You work like every nail sunk 
Every floorboard laid 
   Am 
Is another deed erased 
Another debt that's paid 
           Em 
Like every story you've erected’s gonna raise you up 
            Am 
So you keep slaving but it never seems to be enough 

Pre-Refrão 
               C          
And now you're scared that it's all gonna crash to the ground 
       Em                      D                 C 
So you tied a knot and started climbing your way down 
         C          
When you find that you've come to the end of your rope 
       Em                          D                C 
Take a look and see where you were putting all your hope 


[Refrão]
 
                      Em 
Cause you built these gallows you've been hanging from 
            D            G          
You've been holding to a noose 
            C 
So just let go, just let go 
    D           Em 
You built these gallows you've been hanging from 
            D          G          
And you got nothing to lose 
            C             
So just let go, just let go 

Em  Am 

Verso 2 
           Em 
I love the wood's already rotting 
Though you made it clean 
       Am 
You've hated every short cut 
Concealed it’s crooked seam 
          Em 
But every flaw will be revealed 
Each imperfection shown 
          Am 
Oh, I can hear the wind howl and the timber groan
