Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x2
Young  man with a stone  to throw
Take  a breath and just let  it go
Angry  man with a cross  to bare
Now  you seem life just isn’t  fair
Oh,  let it go
Cos,  you wake up in happy days
 Face the music
In  your eyes you’ve made your bed
Read  what the papers say
 Your dancing days are over
 The smile on your face will never hide your shame
You  can’t escape what they say
Your  dancing days are over
 The ghosts you see are shouting out your name
Oh  how you danced
 Oh how you sang
 There’s a feeling  here that you began
 Oh how you stood  and stared
 Held onto every  breath
 It seemed the world  stood still
 Transfixed by every  step
Oh,  let it go
Cos  a lesser man would be your crowd
 Captivation, lesser  men will tear you down
 Post chorus
The  ghosts you see are shouting out your name
The  very crowd demand it's not to blame
The  demi man celebrates his pain
So  glad to be with him through your pain
Old  man sings his final  song
And  wonders where it all  went wrong
The  ghosts you see are shouting out your name
The  very crowd demands it's not to blame
The  demi man celebrates his pain
 (Finish)
 So glad to be with us through your pain
