Intro:
Bm  C  Em  D

Verse 1:
Bm  C
    Known each other since forever
Em  D
    You always seemed to have my heart
Bm  C
    You said that we'd end up together
Em  D
    But I never knew where to start

Pre-Chorus:
Am                 C
And every time you find somebody
Em                   D
And tell me how you think that they're the one
Am                 C
It's hard for me to take
                 Em                D
You loved me in a way that I don't want


Chorus:
   G
You look at me like I'm someone
     Em
You only need when it goes wrong
         C
But you look at him like he's your missing piece
      Em                  D
And darling, I wish it was me, I wish it was me


Verse 2:
Bm  C
    Always hoped I'd be the reason
Em  D
    The reason you can't sleep at night
Bm  C
    The one you miss so much, you're barely breathing
Em  D
    The face you see when you turn out the lights


Pre-Chorus:
Am                    C
And every time you've got nobody
Em                   D
I'm thinking maybe I could be the one
Am                 C
It's hard for me to take
                 Em                D
You loved me in a way that I don't want


Chorus:
   G
You look at me like I'm someone
     Em
You only need when it goes wrong
         C
But you look at him like he's your missing piece
      Em                  D
And darling, I wish it was me


Post-Chorus:
     G
The music fades, the lights come on
    Em
And I just want to take you home
         C
But you whispered to him that you're ready to leave
       Em                  D
And darling, I wish it was me, I wish it was me


Bridge:
Am                   Bm
And I almost told you about a million times
C                      D
Always tripping over words I never seem to find
Am                    Bm
Just a little closer, it's getting harder to hide
Em      D         C
I keep losing the lights
       Em             D             C
But the answer's right there in your eyes


Chorus:
   G
You look at me like I'm someone
     Em
You only need when it goes wrong
         C
But you look at him like he's your missing piece
      Em                  D
And darling, I wish it was me,
   G
You look at me like I'm someone
     Em
You only need when it goes wrong
         C
But you look at him like he's your missing piece
      Em                  D
And darling, I wish it was me,


Post-Chorus:
     G
The music fades, the lights come on
    Em
And I just want to take you home
         C
But you whispered to him that you're ready to leave
       Em                  D
And darling, I wish it was me, I wish it was me
