Chords with lyrics

Intro:
FF C majorC G+G x2

Verse 1:

  G+G                D MajorD
My heart was way too empty and the damage done too deep

  FF         C majorC        G+G
To stay here for the breaking of the day

  G+G             D MajorD
My compass is in pieces and I don't know what I see

FF        C majorC     G+G
I'm not sure it matters anyway

Chorus:

        D MajorD       G+G
'Cause what it was is gone forever

    D MajorD         C majorC
What it could be, God only knows

      G+G          C majorC
And what it is is right here in front of me

  G+G    D MajorD    G+G
And I'm not letting go

Verse 2:

G+G              D MajorD
Just across the border from what I used to be

FF        C majorC        G+G
I still hear the slamming of the door

    G+G             D MajorD
And the future holds a promise it doesn't have to keep

  FF         C majorC     G+G
But it might not need keeping anymore

Chorus:

        D MajorD       G+G
'Cause what it was is gone forever

    D MajorD         C majorC
What it could be, God only knows

      G+G          C majorC
And what it is is right here in front of me

  G+G    D MajorD    G+G
And I'm not letting go

Instrumental:

Verse 3:

G+G              D MajorD
I can hear the laughter as I make another plan

FF       C majorC        G+G
Set out like a fool towards the sea

G+G              D MajorD
Every wave that crashes rearranges all the sand

  FF      C majorC        G+G
And puts another path in front of me

Chorus:

        D MajorD       G+G
'Cause what it was is gone forever

    D MajorD         C majorC
What it could be, God only knows

      G+G          C majorC
And what it is is right here in front of me

  G+G    D MajorD    G+G
And I'm not letting go

    G+G          C majorC
What it is is right here in front of me

  G+G    D MajorD    FF C majorC G+G
And I'm not letting go
