Verse:
F C G Am
You know i'm really truly grateful to have met somebody just like you
F C E7 Am
But life, it goes along, and from what I know, that means we'll have to part soon
F C G Am
Now carrying these memories which pain me with a smile
F C G F
I walk away from yesterday to our fated goodbye
Verse:
F C G Am
If I were to go through life living just to take somebody else's place
F C E7 Am
Then I would rather have been born as a pebble, living out my peaceful days
F C G Am
Then maybe we could then avoid misunderstandings too
F C G C
And then maybe I would never have ever gotten to know you
G C
Pre-Chorus:
Dm Em7 F C
All I ever wanted was for you to hear my thoughts, all my dreams and fears, just say them out
Dm Em7 F G C
Yet I go and lie to you and say I'd rather not, even though you never found me out
Dm Em7 F G F
I'm just so much weaker than you ever thought I was, than you ever would’ve wanted to believe
C G F
So why? Tell me. Tell me!
Chorus:
Am Dm F G C
With this endless pain in my heart, tearing me apart, but also you beside me
Am Dm F G C
Can't you see how happy I'd be? I'd smile and I'd say, "It was all for the best you see"
Am Dm F G C
As the world in front of me melts and fades away, I only have one thing to say:
E7 Am F G C
These miracles flooding me won't make it go away
E7 Am
Because I can still hear your voice calling out my name
Verse:
F C G Am
If you’re just going to get lost and never find a place where you belong
F C G Am
Deep in my heart I wished you’d let someone else do that, but I knew all along
F C G Am
Pretending not to understand, we turned the other cheek
F C G F
I’m sure one day we’ll laugh again as the cycle then repeats
PPre-Chorus:
Dm Em7 F C
All that I can do is beg as hard as I can, but the nightmares keep on haunting me
Dm Em7 F G C
Even though I’ve seen you leave a hundred thousand times, I can only watch you disappear
Dm Em7 F G F
I'm just so much weaker than you ever thought I was, than you ever would’ve wanted to believe
C G F
So why? Tell me. Tell me!
Chorus:
Am Dm F G C
For the nights I won’t make it through, I spend beside you, while holding onto your hand
Am Dm F G C
Telling me I will and I can, I pray every night that days like this will never end
Am Dm F G C
Painting colours vivid and bright I see every time I go ahead and close my eyes
E7 Am F G C
Just what should I do so everything remains the same?
E7 Am
Hey, is it alright if I keep calling out your name?

Bridge:
Dm Em7 F G
In the moment I was born, I wouldn’t stop screaming
Dm Em7 F G
Saying that I wanted to fade away and disappear
Dm Em7 F G
Ever since the day I stopped, I had always been searching,
F C G
For the one I'd someday meet,
N/C
For the you that has to leave
Chorus:
Am Dm F G C
For the nights I won’t make it through, I spend beside you, while holding onto your hand
Am Dm F G C
Telling me I will and I can, I pray every night that days like this will never end

Painting colours vivid and bright I see every time I go ahead and close my eyes
E7 Am F G C
Just what should I do so everything remains the same?
