[verse]
    G
The boulevard is bustling
  Em
A vast and wrinkled muslin
   D
Is all over my eyes
                    Em      G   D
and I know I don't belong

      G
There is a noise inside of me
     Em
That bustles asymmetrically
   D
Oh how am I to balance
                    Em     G  D
Those sounds into a song?

[chorus]
                       G       Gmaj7  G6
It's time to let your hair down
    Gmaj7            Em(2)    Em9   Em
and give yourself permission
            G           D
it takes courage and control
                         Em   G  D
but you start by letting go   Oh

[verse 2]
    G
The city's an analogy
    Em
For things building inside of me
        D
There's chaos and there's discourse
               Em   G  D
Still we move along

    G
The chaos sings of symmetry
    Em
and all her words are poetry
    D
and that's the kind of city
                  Em    G  D
which I want to belong       mmm

[chorus]
                      G       Gmaj7  G6
It's time to let your hair down
    Gmaj7            Em(2)    Em9   Em
and give yourself permission
            G           D
it takes courage and control
                         Em  G  D     Em
but you start by letting go  Oh     ooh

[refrain]

  D       A      D       Em
 Oh I think, I feel, I see
  D         A       D       Em
 Oh that this place is not me
      D           A            D        Em
 I want to be alone, but be wild and free
  D        A      D
 Oh he who asks receives

[chorus]
                       G       Gmaj7  G6
It's time to let your hair down
    Gmaj7            Em(2)    Em9   Em
and give yourself permission
            G           D
it takes courage and control
                         Em   G  D
but you start by letting go   Oh

                       G       Gmaj7  G6
It's time to let your hair down
    Gmaj7            Em(2)    Em9   Em
and give yourself permission
               G           D
Oh it takes courage and control
                         Em   G  D
but you start by letting go   Oh
