Verse 1
                     Am
Had every word prepared

                 F
Wasn't even scared

                                  C                        G
Rehearsed the scene a million times and still felt no where

                        Am
You were just down the hall

                 F
Not knowing at all

                    C                               G
What was about to happen when I laid it on the line



             Am                 F
'Cause it's written on my face

             C              G
Though you see it in my eyes

             Am                   F
How do you tell someone you love

               C
What's gonna hurt

              G
Don't wanna hurt



Chorus
 Am                    F
This went on too long

                          C
I'm telling you what's wrong

                              G
Tried and couldn't bring myself

(Shoulda been simple)
 Am                     F
So many times I've tried

                     C
The time was never right

                    G
It was so complicated

(Shoulda been simple)

 Am          F
Oh-oh oh-oh

(Shoulda been simple)
 C                G
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh

Let's not point the finger

                             C                             G
We were trying to fly a plane, the wings were just not there



             Am                F
And it's written on my face

             C                  G
And though you see it in my eyes
