Capo 1
INTRO: C G D (2x)
C
There's an albatross around your neck,
G
All the things you've said and the things you've done:
C
Can you carry it with no regrets?
G
Can you stand the person you've become?
Em G
Oh, there's a light,
Em G
Oh, oh, oh, there's a light...
C G Em D
Your albatross, let it go, let it go.
C G Em D
Your albatross, shoot it down, shoot it down
C G D
When you just can't shake the heavy weight of living.
C
Stepping forward out into the day,
G
Shrugging off the dust and memory.
C
Though it's soaring still above your head,
G
It is out of sight and none shall see.
Em G
Oh, there's a light,
Em G
Oh, oh, oh, there's a light...
