[Verse]
A It’s been a battle just to
Wake and greet the day
D Then they all disappear
Like sugar in my coffee
F#m D (Sugar in my coffee) [Verse]
A A hint of sweetness
But the bitterness remains
D The acidity devouring my body
F#m D (Devouring my body) [Chorus]
D A But I am learning to let go
F#m Of everything
D
I tried to hold
A F#m Too long 'cause they all explode
D A Like roman candles [Verse]
A I used to feel everything
Like a flame
D But now it’s a struggle
Just to feel anything
F#m D To feel anything [Verse]
A I watch the world
From a window on a hill
D Everyone moving as
I’m standing still
F#m D I'm standing still [Chorus]
D A But I am learning to let go
F#m D Of everything I tried to hold
A F#m Too long 'cause they all explode
D A Like roman candles [Bridge]
D E Ow, ooh
D A Ow, ooh
F#m E Ow, ooh [Chorus]
D A And I am learning to let go
F#m D Of everything I tried to hold
A F#m Too long 'cause they all explode
D A Like roman candles [Outro]
D A Like roman candles
F#m D A F#m D6 Dmmaj7 Dm Dm D5
