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
