A                  E
When you’re lonely do you think of me?
Bm               D
Everything I was and everything I wanted to be
A                E
  When we were eighteen
Bm                D     Dm
Really thought we knew everything
A                     E
Turns out we were both dead wrong
Bm                    D     Dm
Just a couple of fish in a big ol’ pond
A                     E
And sometimes this small fish
Bm               D Dm
Misses your arms

[Chorus]
A      Bm       D        D
But sometimes a good thing 
A      Bm       D        D
Stays behind so you can keep growing
A      Bm       D        D
And sometimes the right thing 
A      Bm       D        D
Is letting go and leaving

[Verse 2]
A                        E
Brand new city you look happy
   Bm                      D
Do you see my face In the people on the street?
A            E
  Because sometimes
   Bm                    D Dm
I swear that I see yours
A                     E
In time we will both move on
   Bm                    D     Dm
You’ll forget my eyes I’ll forget your songs
A                     E
But right now I can’t help
   Bm          D Dm
Singing along

[Chorus]
A      Bm       D        D
But sometimes a good thing 
A      Bm       D        D
Stays behind so you can keep growing
A      Bm       D        D
And sometimes the right thing 
A      Bm       D        D
Is letting go and leaving

[Bridge]
Bm         A  F#m          E
But sometimes a good thing
Bm         A F#m          E
Stays behind so you can keep growing
Bm         A  F#m          E
And sometimes the right thing
Bm         A  F#m          E
Is letting go and leaving

[Outro]
Bm    A    F#m    E
Bm    A    F#m    E
