Verse 1:
    C
The worst that I've ever been hurt in my life
    G                 F         C
The first time I ever wanted to die
        C              C7          F
Was the night when you told me you loved someone else
        C                       G
And you asked me if I could for-get

Verse 2:
    C
I'd be like a flower unwanted in spring
 G                      F          C
Alone, neglected, trans-planted in vain
        C         C7                F
In your garden of sadness where it's petals would fall
       C                  G
In the shadows of undying pain

Chorus:

     C C7     F

That's when I'll stop thinking of you

Verse:
    C
You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
    G                     F           C
You may take a pebble and teach it to grow
        C                            F
You can teach all the raindrops to return to the clouds
        C                          G
But you can't teach my heart to forget

Chorus:
     C C7     F
When I-I stop dreaming
       C                         G     C
That's when I'll stop crying for you
