Leave It Like That

Some things are better left exactly where they landed.

Capo 2 — play the shapes in E and it sounds in F♯ major. Much easier than fingering F♯ major straight.

Verse 1

The moment you don't chase, you just let it stay
We could try to name it
try to make it more
But it's already perfect
What would we do that for?

Chorus

Don't try to fix it
Don't try to make it last
Don't say a word
We don't gotta ask
Let it be easy
let it be right where we're at
Right here, right now
Let's just leave it like that

Verse 2

There's a line we could cross tonight
Turn this into something more to find
But there's something about the space we're in
And that don't need a whirlwind

Verse 3

You lean in and lean away
Like you're thinking the same thing
Yeah, we both know what this is
And we both know what it isn't

Verse 4

We could try to hold it
Try to make it stay
But some things get better
When they fade this away

Chorus

Don't try to fix it
Don't try to make it last
Don't say a word
We don't gotta ask
And let it be easy
Let it be right where we're at
You're right here, right now
Let's just leave it like that

Bridge

Yeah, the moment I change everything
But tonight don't need a thing
Ain't every memory gotta turn into forever
Sometimes it's just now or never

Chorus

Don't try to fix it
Don't try to make it last
Don't say a word
We don't gotta ask
Let it be easy
Let it be all that we have
Right here, right now
Let's just leave it like that

Raw note map (experimental)

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
