Repeat chords from verse:

I used to always get my way
Told me that you wouldn't stay
Had to face it, what you had to say
If I wanted you
You tell me when I did you wrong
I guess I've known it all along
Cared enough and you stood strong
I believed in you

Repeat chords from pre-chorus:

In my frustrations
Tried to become someone else
The years I've wasted
I'd been lying to myself

Hiding my emotion
You made me see the truth
Your love was what I needed
Hear me calling
Waiting for a lifetime
Hear me calling
What I needed
