E   A   D                   E    A      DTonight, I'm ready to change, but not just for tonight
A                          You admit that I have your heart

Bm                                          D                Eall I ask is you speak to me the same each night
F#m             D                E                C#mTonight and always I want you by my side

                   F#m      D           ETonight and always, always, always

Tonight, decisions unmade, I find I can't decide
Tonight, you tell me take my time
Tonight, I feel the changes coming on tonight
As I move towards the life that I wanted
I'm afraid there'll be time forgotten
All I ask is you speak to me the same each night
Tonight and always, I want you by my side
Tonight and always, and take me for a ride of my life
Tonight and always, always, always
Tonight and always, always, always

Bm          C#m                   F#m              E            Bm        C#m            F#m            EHow am I supposed to move ahead when pain and doubt keep running through my head
Bm          C#m                   F#m              E            Bm                D                            How can we continue on like things that happened today won't live on for every night and always
I have to say
Tonight, let's sit here and pray in the quiet
Tonight, a flame is here to give us light
Tonight, I blow this one out awaiting sunrise
Tonight and always, always
Tonight and always, always
Tonight and always I want you by my side
Tonight and always and take me for a ride of my life
Tonight and always, always, always
Tonight and always, always, always

"Let Down" chords/lyrics


LET DOWN
Original music and lyrics by Elle Carpenter

Released by Elle Carpenter on Travianna Records 2016

G#m - - - E - - - G#m - - - E - - -

G#m                                                                        E
There were many things that happened years ago
G#m                                                                        E
Good and bad but the bad things I remember the most
F#                                          E                      F#
Like when you left and I had to let go
F#                                           E                       F#   
I'd pick fights; you were off and I was stuck at home thinking
E                 B
All will be well
                        G#m                                                F#
But when the melody was going wrong I stumbled and I fell
        E               B
Well I'm in a spell
                 G#m                                                 F#                        B            E                 F#
When I can't escape from loneliness, and when my sadness feels let down, let down
G#m                                                            E
I grew up and I know how to be alone
G#m                                                                        E
When nobody's watching me I feel like I'm at home
F#                                              E                     F#
But then my hurt comes and changes the tone
F#                                                   E                          F#
You don't know you left me, feeling like there's nowhere I belong

All will be well
But when the melody is going wrong I stumble and I fall
Well I'm in a spell
When I can't escape from loneliness
Or when my sadness feels let down, let down, let down, let down
      E                     F#            E                        F#
I'll feel let down no matter what you say
E                     F#                  E                                        F#                              B
I'll feel let down, so don't tell me, don't tell me now all will be well
E                              F#
Just let down your hair
E                              F#
Give me it to wear
E                              F#                           B
You can have your way this time

I'll feel let down no matter what you say
I'll feel let down, so don't tell me, don't tell me now all will be well
