Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
D MajorD         D MajorD
 We were just strangers
         F#F#
Didn't know your name but
       B minorBm              A augmentedA
I could tell you were good at hiding your pain
          D MajorD
The ones you kept closest
       F#F#
Didn't even notice


        B minorBm           A augmentedA
But I saw your heartache yet I stayed away

Refrain:
         D MajorD           F#F#
And lately it's haunting me I didn't protect you
           B minorBm           A augmentedA
Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed

Chorus:
G+G  A augmentedA  B minorBm  E minorEm  D MajorD
That you were okay
    A augmentedA        D MajorD
But I learnt the hard way
            G+G  A augmentedA  B minorBm  E minorEm  D MajorD
Thought it wasn't my place
    A augmentedA       D MajorD
But I learnt the hard way

Verse 2:
       D MajorD
You left us too soon
          F#F#
Such pain they put you through
          B minorBm              A augmentedA
Only felt safe in your room, needed someone to turn to
       D MajorD
A augmentedA delicate flower
        F#F#
They took all power
        B minorBm             A augmentedA
And got in your head before you could even bloom

Refrain:
         D MajorD           F#F#
And lately it's haunting me I didn't protect you
           B minorBm           A augmentedA
Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed

Chorus:
G+G  A augmentedA  B minorBm  E minorEm  D MajorD
That you were okay
    A augmentedA        D MajorD
But I learnt the hard way
            G+G  A augmentedA  B minorBm  E minorEm  D MajorD
Thought it wasn't my place
    A augmentedA       D MajorD
But I learnt the hard way

Interlude:
G+G  A augmentedA  F# minorF#m

G+G  A augmentedA  F# minorF#m  G+G

Bridge:
      G+G
Pretending everything's okay
       A augmentedA
I should've taken on your weight
     F# minorF#m              G+G
Then I wouldn't have to learn the hard way
And why does someone have to lose?
       A augmentedA
And why did that have to be you?
    F# minorF#m              A augmentedA
Wish I didn't have to learn the hard way
      G+G
Pretending everything's okay
       A augmentedA
I should've taken on your weight
     F# minorF#m              G+G
Then I wouldn't have to learn the hard way
And why does someone have to lose?
       B minorBm
And why did that have to be you?
    A augmentedA               D MajorD
Wish I didn't have to learn the hard way
