Let Them Talk

[Intro - Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft piano] Let 'em talk, let 'em wonder Let 'em say what they believe They don't know what happens When it's just you and me [Verse 1] Your friends say I'm no good for you My friends say you're too wild Everybody's got an opinion Everybody's got advice They tell me where I ought to be And who I ought to know But they don't see the way you smile When we're driving home [Pre-Chorus] Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong I've spent too much time trying to prove them wrong There's one thing I know when the day is through I don't want anybody else but you [Chorus] Let them talk, let them talk Let them say whatever they want They can shake their heads They can tell me I'm wrong I don't care what they think I don't care what they say When you reach for my hand Everything falls into place They can have their reasons They can have their point of view I don't need to understand them I just wanna be with you [Verse 2] We don't have to make them happy We don't have to play along We can take the long way home With the radio turned on You can laugh at all my bad jokes I can sing the wrong words We don't have to look perfect To know what this is worth [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we're crazy, maybe we're not Maybe this is everything they've said it's not But when you look at me like you always do I forget about everybody but you [Chorus] Let them talk, let them talk Let them say whatever they want They can shake their heads They can tell me I'm wrong I don't care what they think I don't care what they say When you reach for my hand Everything falls into place They can have their reasons They can have their point of view I don't need to understand them I just wanna be with you [Bridge - Piano and acoustic guitar, vocal becomes more exposed] I've spent too many years Trying to be somebody's idea Trying to fit inside a picture That never looked like me So if they don't understand us That's alright with me I'd rather have one honest night Than a lifetime pretending to be free [Final Chorus - Full acoustic band, layered harmonies] Let them talk, let them talk Let them say whatever they want They can shake their heads They can tell me I'm wrong I don't care what they think I don't care what they say When you reach for my hand Everything falls into place They can have their reasons They can have their point of view They can keep their answers I know what I wanna do Let them talk all night Let them say we're making a mistake If loving you is wrong That's a chance I'm willing to take I don't need their approval I don't need them to choose There's only one thing on my mind I just wanna be with you [Outro - Acoustic guitar and soft piano] Let 'em talk... They don't have to understand. I know where I wanna be. Right here with you.
