Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Gm                               F
Between the seams that line your living room
Gm                         C
A vine of ivy's pushing her way through
Gm                           F
And as she creeps along, she sinks her roots
Gm                                          C
Into the cracks, to pull 'em back until the structure's coming loose

Gm                          F
And the way the shadows on the wall are cast
Gm                      C
Look like a twisted apparition from the past
Gm                       F
And all the memories come flooding fast
Gm                                    Dm                 F
A wilderness you kinda miss, but were taught you ought to cut it back

Pre-Chorus:
Bb       Dm
So you shut it out
     Gm
You shout it down
F
Until you're all white-knuckled
Bb            Dm          Gm           F
You got a lot to learn, if you'd settle down

Chorus:
F
Let be what is, let be what isn't
Bb                     Gm          Dm
It's a natural world in which we're living
F
And if you let it alone, it will surely grow
Bb                     Gm           Dm
Just leave it alone, child, and let it go

 (Bb F G F Bb C Dm)

Verse 2:
  Gm                            F
And when all your ziggurats have crumbled down
  Gm                             Cm            Gm
And every stone is thrown like seeds across the ground
                      Dm
A new Arcadia will come around
 Gm                                       F
And multiply until the binds of death have been unwound

Pre-Chorus:
   Bb         C
So don't you shut it out
  Gm
Don't you shout it down
             F
And get your feathers ruffled
 Bb         C                Gm
You got a lot to learn, if you'd just settle down
             F           Bb
And let the river run its course

Bridge:
         C            Gm
'Cause see, the ground all around
     F            Bb
It was always holy
           Cm                Gm
Leave the ruins where they fall

Leave them all
 C                   F
And let the wild take over

Chorus:
F
Let be what is, let be what isn't
Bb                     Gm          Dm
It's a natural world in which we're living
F
And if you let it alone, it will surely grow
Bb                     Gm          Dm
Just leave it alone, child, and let it go
                 C                Bb
Let be what is, let be what isn't
                         F
It's a natural world in which we're living
           Dm                      C     F
And if you let it alone, it will surely grow
 Bb                            Gm
Just leave it alone, child, and let it go
