[Verse 1]

                                  Em
Sweetie Little Jean where did you go?
                                    C
Everyone's been searching high and low
                           Am
And your mother's worried sick
                        C
Dearest daddy lost his grip

While the whole world's watching
Am                        C
Candlelight vigils being held in silence
Am             Em
On the channel four
                          Em
And they've knocked every door
                           C
Every place you've been before


[Pre-Chorus]

C         Am            Em
How long will we let it go?
C       Am                 Em
I think we should just let go


[Chorus]

C              Am
I, I want you back (back)
          Em
Let's get back
G                               C
Lay my weary head against your bones
Am                                      C
Where all my troubles will be dead and gone


[Post-Chorus]

C         Am            Em
How long will we let it go?
C       Am                Em
I think we should just let go

[Verse 2]

                              Em
Has melancholy taken you for good?
                                      C
You know that I would save you if I could
                                Am
Watched your laughter turn to tears
                           C
Then you vanished in thin air
                              Am            C
Well we pinned your missing persons picture up
           Am           Em
On every mother-loving post
                        Em
How's it feel to be a ghost?
                           C
You're the one I love the most


[Chorus]

C              Am
I, I want you back
          Em
Let's get back
G            Am     Em         C
Lay my weary head against your breast
Am                                    C
Where all my troubles will be laid to rest


[Bridge]

X    C                       Am
I pushed and I pulled 'til I pushed you aside
     C                       Am
Now all that is left are the tears that you cried
     C
I'm sorry love
               Am
For all of the damage done
   Em
My only hope
   G
is someday to be back beside you


[Chorus]

C              Am
I, I want you back
          Em
Let's get back
G                              C
Lay my weary head against your bones
      Am                                 C
Where all our troubles will be dead and gone

C       Am             Em
How long will we let it go?
C       Am                 Em
I think we should just let go
