Verse 1:

           G          C              G
I took the 35A to the river San Lorenzo

C                                         G
Hector and Jose were there with all of my friends

C                      D                       G         G/F# Em
Though I've never been right in the market for friendship

       C                    D             G      G7
With a hole in my heart and 20 dollars to spend


Chorus:

G7                C                   G
Cause living this way has always come easy

    D                                           G   G7
The surest thing I've ever done is just letting go

G7       C                              G     G/F# Em
When you see me some place down on that levee

     C                          D               G
Just know the surest thing I've done is letting go

Verse 2:

G                    C                      G
The morning sun rose shortly there after my eyes

  C                                                G
I shook off the dust and the leaves and I slowly exhaled

  C                   D                G         G/F# Em
I folded a picture of you outside our apartment

      C                         D                       G      G7
And I shuffled downtown feeling sick and more dead than alive


Chorus:

G7                C                   G
Cause living this way has always come easy

    D                                           G   G7
The surest thing I've ever done is just letting go

G7       C                              G     G/F# Em
When you see me some place down on that levee

     C                          D               G
Just know the surest thing I've done is letting go

Verse 3:

G                       C               G
Closest thing I've ever had to being in love

   C                                                G
Is tough as a cactus and sweet as the fruit that it bears

  C                         D                         G        F/F# Em
I tried not to fail, not to take her sweet loving for granted

        C                           D                        G    G7
But her love and this life are just two things I couldn't compare


Chorus:

G7                C                   G
Cause living this way has always come easy

    D                                           G   G7
The surest thing I've ever done is just letting go

G7       C                              G     G/F# Em
When you see me some place down on that levee

     C                          D               G   G7
Just know the surest thing I've done is letting go

     C                               D               G  D  G
Just know the surest thing that I've done is letting go
