Let Him Be Cifras

BPM:      94
Single released: 15 Aug 2006
 
 
Note:  To make it easier to play just play the C chord where you see Cadd9.  Same for
       D/F# here you can play a normal D chord. This will also work.
 
     * after chord means strike chord once and let it ring.

[Verse 1]
       G
So I'm drivin’ up the freeway,
       D/F#             Em7        Cadd9
Finally on the road and on my way,
          G
I'm going 90, 95,
D/F#                         Em7                   Cadd9
And as the city lights fade, I start to feel more alive,
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em7      D/F#     Cadd9
And he's sleeping sound in the passenger seat,
Em7  D/F#     Cadd9
So I ride the center line, avoid the bumps.
 
 
[Chorus 1]
   G  Cadd9
And,
          G  Cadd9     G Cadd9  G  Cadd9*
I let him be . . .
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                          D/F#                        Em7
This woman on the radio is singing about her long lost love,
            Cadd9
And how she makes it on her own,
   G
My mind begins to wonder,
D/F#                         Em7                   Cadd9
I wonder if I'll ever find a place that I can call home.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em7   D/F#    Cadd9                 Em7
And I want to talk about the future now,
    D/F#          Cadd9
But he's sleeping sound,
 
 
[Chorus 2]
              G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9
So I ride the line,
              G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9
And I let him be . . .
 
 
[Bridge]
      Cadd9      G          Cadd9     G
And I don't know where this long road ends,
        Cadd9          G            D/F#                    Em7
Can't remember when we crossed that line between lovers and friends,
            Cadd9
I need some consolation,
Em7            Cadd9
Just give me a conversation,
Em7     D/F#             Cadd9*
Tell me that we took the right turn.
 
 
[Interlude]
G  Cadd9
G  Cadd9
G  Cadd9
G  Cadd9*
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                          D/F#
The sun is going down over sleepy country towns,
Em7            Cadd9
  He stirs and looks around,
G                                   D/F#
And I start to say something but it comes out as nothing,
Em7                      Cadd9
  And he just smiles and goes back down.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 3]
        Em7      D/F#   Cadd9
And the world outside begins to blur,
          Em7           D/F#         Cadd9
All these things left unsaid make my stomach churn,
      Em7    D/F#    Cadd9         Cadd9  Cadd9*
And I wonder if I'll ever have the nerve.
 
 
[Instrumental]
G  D/F#  Em7  Cadd9
 
 
[Outro]
               G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9
But I ride the line,
              G  Cadd9*
And I let him be . . .
