Intro:
Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7-C
Cmaj7 C
Fourteen years
Cmaj7 C
Thirty minutes
Aus2 Am
Fifteen seconds I've
Asus2 Am
Held this grudge
Eleven songs
Four full journals
Thoughts of punishment
I've expended
Not in contact
Not a letter
Such communication
Telepathic
You've been vilified
Used as fodder
You deserve a piece
Of every record
Dm C Cmaj7-C
But who's it hurting now?
Dm C Cmaj7-C
Who's the one that's stuck?
Dm C
Who's it torturing now
Cmaj C G G
With an antique knot in her stomach?
CHORUS:
C Cmaj7
I want to be big and let go
Cmaj7 C
Of this grudge that's grown old
C Cmaj7
All this time I've not known
Cmaj7 C
How to rest this bygone
C Cmaj7
I wanna be soft and resolved
Cmaj7 C
Clean of slate and released
G Dsus4
I wanna forgive for the both of us
Like an abandoned house
Dusty covered
Furniture
Still intact
If I visit it now
Do I simply re-live it
Somehow
gratuitous
Dm C Cmaj7-C
But who's still aching now?
Dm C Cmaj7-C
Who's tired of her own voice?
Dm C
Who is it weighing down
Cmaj C G G
With no gift from time of said healing
CHORUS:
C Cmaj7
I want to be big and let go
Cmaj7 C
Of this grudge that's grown old
C Cmaj7
All this time I've not known
Cmaj7 C
How to rest this bygone
C Cmaj7
I wanna be soft and resolved
Cmaj7 C
Clean of slate and released
G Dsus4
I wanna forgive for the both of us
Cmaj C
Maybe as I cut the cord
Dsus4 C
Veils will lift from my eyes
Cmaj7 C
Maybe as I lay this to rest
Aus2 C G
Dead weight off my shoulders will rise
Here I sit
Much determined
Ever ill-equipped
To draw this curtain
How this has entertained
Validated
And has served me well
Ever the victim
Dm C Cmaj7-C
But who's done whining now?
Dm C Cmaj7-C
Who's ready to put down
Dm C
This load I've carried longer
Cmaj-C G G
than I had cared to remember
CHORUS:
C Cmaj7
I want to be big and let go
Cmaj7 C
Of this grudge that's grown old
C Cmaj7
For this life of me I've not known
Cmaj7 C
How to rest this bygone
C Cmaj7
I wanna be soft and resolved
Cmaj7 C
Clean of slate and released
G Dsus4
I wanna forgive for the both of us (x2)
G-Dus4
