Verse 1:

If you’d asked me eighteen months ago

  Bdim/F
I’m sure I would have married you

    C/EC/E       FF
And I’m not the kind of girl

      G+G
To give her heart away

     Bb majorBb    A minorAm  G+G
But you’d had it so long anyway

If I met myself ten years ago

  G/F
I’d find a way to let her know

  C majorC     FF       G+G
How absolutely perfect she already was

That she shouldn’t try to change herself

G/F
Just to please somebody else

     C majorC        FF
That she doesn’t need to do the things

  G+G
She thinks she does

I would tell her not to spend her life

    G/F
Trying so damn hard to make things right

   C majorC
When what was wrong

  FF        G+G
Was too far gone to start with

That her love for him was very real

     G/F
But it’s something he would never feel

     C majorC         FF
That he’s not the man she’s meant
       G+G
To share her heart with

I would do my best to tell her how

    G/F
Things look so very different now

   C majorC         FF        G+G
That I’ve moved on and time has gone by

That she’d see how far apart they’d grown

      G/F
That she’d be all right out on her own

   C majorC         FF         G+G
That one day she would find her wings and fly

Bb/G Am/GAm/G G+G Bb/G Am/GAm/G G+G

Verse 2:

I know things now I didn’t then

    G/AG/A
Though I couldn’t tell you where or when

 G/BG/B
I learned to tell the difference

    DmDm       C majorC
Between loving you and wanting you

  G/BG/B     G+G
And needing you

I traded who I was

       G/AG/A
For someone I thought you would love

      G/BG/B
For just a fraction of myself

     DmDm         C majorC
I wasn’t whole, I starved my soul

      G/BG/B     G+G
For want of feeding you

We’re attached but not connected

     G/AG/A
And each time I’ve been rejected

    G/BG/B
I have lost a little, cried a little

DmDm       C majorC      G/BG/B     G+G
Tried a little harder to be good enough

I’ve been playing house with no one home

G/AG/A
Living with you all alone

   G/BG/B
With nothing left to call my own

 DmDm       C majorC
I gave you all I had

       G/BG/B    G+G
And it wasn’t good enough, no

Bb/G Am/GAm/G G+G Bb/G Am/GAm/G G+G Fadd2

Verse 3:

             Cadd6 Fadd2/D
You only want me when I’m broken

             Am7Am7 Am7/GAm7/G Fadd2
You only need me when I’m weak

                Cadd6 Fadd2/D
And all the words you’ve never spoken

              Gadd2
Say more than I could ever speak

Bb/G Am/GAm/G G+G Bb/G Am/GAm/G G+G G/F#


Chorus:

  E minorEm  D/F#D/F# G+G     D MajorD   C majorC
But, I’ll hold on to whatever I can

  D MajorD    E minorEm     D MajorD    B/D#B/D# E minorEm
Anything’s better than nothing, right

   D/F#D/F# G+G     D MajorD     C majorC
I’ll hold on for whatever it’s worth

       D MajorD  E minorEm
For whatever I’m worth

      Fadd2 FF Fadd2
And that’s nothing


Verse 4:

            Cadd6 Fadd2/D
I am beside myself with grief

             Am7Am7 Am7/GAm7/G Fadd2
You are beside me but not with me

               Cadd6 Fadd2/D
I search my heart for some release

            Gadd2
I wonder if you’ll even miss me

Gadd2/F# Gadd2/E D MajorD


Bridge:
       C majorC      G+G
I know I’m a complicated woman

   D MajorD         C majorC   A augmentedA   D MajorD
And I know you won’t ever understand

         C majorC
You say that you love me

    G+G         D MajorD
When I think that we both know

          C majorC    A augmentedA
You don’t know just who I am

A augmentedA D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD G+G A augmentedA

 D MajorD    G+G          A augmentedA D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
I look at all that’s done and said

 D MajorD    G+G       A augmentedA D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD G+G A/GA/G
I see the point of no return

 D/G   G+G       A/GA/G A/D G+G A/GA/G
I think before I come to bed

  D/G  G+G       EsusEsus     E MajorE
That I had better come to terms with it

     B minorBm A augmentedA  F# minorF#m E MajorE BB  E MajorE
That the har-dest part of all

      B minorBm   A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Is that you really do love me

    B minorBm A augmentedA  F# minorF#m
In your way you love me

         BB
But not the way I need

E MajorE     B minorBm  A augmentedA F# minorF#m E MajorE BB   E MajorE
And I only have my-self to blame

     B minorBm A augmentedA  F# minorF#m E MajorE BB        E MajorE
I’ve been hol-ding on to what will never be

        B minorBm A augmentedA  F# minorF#m E MajorE  BB  E MajorE
And things will al-ways be the same

   B minorBm   A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Just another variation

E MajorE   D MajorD      BB
On an old familiar theme


Chorus:

E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD B/D#B/D#

E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD E minorEm G+G GsusGsus G+G


Coda:

Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb    FF     C majorC
I held on for as long as I could

     Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb     G+G
I thought anything was better than nothing

Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb   FF       C majorC
I held on for all that I was worth

    Eb MajorEb         Bb majorBb     G+G
For so long I thought that I was worth nothing

  Bb/G Am/GAm/G  G+G  Bb/G Am/GAm/G G+G
But I  held  on, I  held on,

Bb/G Am/GAm/G  G+G  Bb/G Am/GAm/G  G+G
 I  held  on, I  held  on

     Dm/G C/GC/G G+G
I have to find my  way

     Dm/G  C/GC/G    G+G
Tightrope  jump, seasons change

     Dm/G C/GC/G G+G
I held on so     long,

     Dm/G  C/GC/G G+G
Why I will  never  know

        Dm/G C/GC/G G+G
I love you with all  my  heart

       Bb majorBb   A minorAm G+G
But I have to let you go
