Leave It Alone chords by Broken Bells

Chords with lyrics

D#m, C#, G#G# (or Capo 1 to get rid of all the sharps)

D#mD#m
All this time I'd never let you go
      C#C#                  G#G#
And now the same chains that I've kept you in are holding down my soul
 D#mD#m
I set you up, I gave you life, I dragged you out the fire
      C#C#                    G#G#
And now you knocked me down you shut me out and I can see it in your eyes
      F#F#
Somehow you got it in your head, that you can make it on your own
     G#G#
You were sheltered, loved, and fed but you just couldn't leave it alone

[Chorus (repeat x2)]
     D#mD#m
Leave it alone, leave it alone
     C#C#       G#G#
Leave it alone, leave it alone

D#mD#m
Well your heart was here, resting on my lap
    C#C#           G#G#
and I'd do it all again but I'm never coming back
    D#mD#m
Well I know I'm lying, lying in the cold
       C#C#                        G#G#
Yeah there's snow on the ground, and if I know myself, I'll be leaving down the road
     F#F#
I've been all around the world but I've got nowhere to go
 G#G#
I gave into this lonely life and you can't change me now so

[Chorus + Instrumental]

D#mD#m
The ghosts are on the green each and every night
    C#C#          G#G#
Oh the distant light is the hardest part to take
      D#mD#m
That's the heart of all my pain lying in the cold
    C#C#         G#G#
Oh the distant light in a hue we can't describe, still we know

D#m, C#, G#G# [x2]

D#mD#m
Could it all be over now? We've seen it all the while
      C#C#                G#G#
There's no dimension to the clouds, and the moon and world around
      D#mD#m
That's the heart of all my pain, cause I don't wanna go
   C#C#         G#G#
Oh the distant light in a hue we can't describe, still we know
