Young man with a stone to throw

Take a breath and just let it go

Angry man with a cross to bare

Now you seem life just isn’t fair

Oh, let it go

Cos, you wake up in happy days

Face the music

C

In your eyes you’ve made your bed

Chorus

G D

Read what the papers say

C

Your dancing days are over

The smile on your face will never hide your shame

G D

You can’t escape what they say

C

Your dancing days are over

Em B7 G Asus2

The ghosts you see are shouting out your name

Verse 2

Em

Oh how you danced

B7

Oh how you sang

G Asus2

There’s a feeling here that you began

Em

Oh how you stood and stared

B7

Held onto every breath

G

It seemed the world stood still

Asus2

Transfixed by every step

Oh, let it go

Am

Cos a lesser man would be your crowd

C

Captivation, lesser men will tear you down

Am

The ghosts you see are shouting out your name

The very crowd demand it's not to blame

Am

The demi man celebrates his pain

C

So glad to be with him through your pain

Old man sings his final song

G Asus2

And wonders where it all went wrong

The ghosts you see are shouting out your name

The demi man celebrates his pain
