Intro
Cadd9 G D x2
Verse 1
           Cadd9  G       D
All of the lights land on you
                Cadd9 G          D
The rest of the world fades from view
               Cadd9  G   Gm      D      
And all of the love I see please, please 
A#      Cadd9   D
Say you feel it too  
 
Verse
               Cadd9   G      D
And all of the noise I hear inside
             Cadd9   G          D
Restless and loud  unspoken and wild
                 Cadd9   G
And all that you need to say
           Gm      D
To make it all go away
            A#       Cadd9    D
Is that you feel the same way too
Chorus
      D                                 Bm
And I know the scariest part is letting go
                                A
Cause love is a ghost you can't control
                                      Em
I promise you the truth can't hurt us now
           G*         A*          D     Cadd9 G D 
So let the words slip out of your mouth
Cadd9 G D
Verse
               Cadd9       G          D
And all of the stairs that lead me to you
               Cadd9  G           D
And all of the hell I had to walk through
               Cadd9   G       
But I wouldn't trade a day 
        Gm        D
For the chance to say
   A#          G         D
My love I'm in love with you
 
Chorus
      D                                 Bm
And I know the scariest part is letting go
                                A
Cause love is a ghost you can't control
                                      E
I promise you the truth can't hurt us now
           G          A           Bm
So let the words slip out of your mouth
 
Bridge
([010330]- Use this voicing for these A#5's below)    
 
                  A#5
I know that we're both afraid
                 D
We both made the same mistakes
        E                            Bm
An open heart is an open wound to you
                     A#5
And in the wind of a heavy choice
           D
Love has a quiet voice
           E                           G D G D
Still your mind now I'm yours to choo-oose
 
Chorus
      D*                                  G*
And I know the scariest part is letting go
                                         A
Let my love be the light that guides you home
      D                                 G
And I know the scariest part is letting go
                                   A
Cause love is a ghost you can't control
                                      E
I promise you the truth can't hurt us now
           G*         A*          D    Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G D*
So let the words slip out of your mouth
