This song is great.

I tabbed it primarily from the single acoustic video I
could find of him playing this song (due to requests).


Tuning: Standard

 Cross my heart...         In fact I wish your heart was mine...

And this is where the video of Bryce playing ends so I'll have to see if I
can find it somewhere else and finish the tab.

Let me know what you think!


 I know you're going crazy...

Cross my heart, hope to die
I swear I won't say what happened that night
So starting today things are gonna be alright
Your best you tried, and yeah you did fine
No better than fine, perfect in my mind
In fact, I wish your heart was mine
And I can hear the memory in my ears
Back to the years and all those tears
But hear me when I say I'm glad we steered that way
Because now we're here.

Do you want to get away? Get in the car we can leave today
Do you want to celebrate our just made little holiday?
'Cause now today is your day
And all that stuff you used to take
I'm glad you threw all that away cause now you look so great
You never need to be afraid just know you went the right way

'Cause even though we never get things right
And it gets so old just saying we'll keep trying
But it's mine to decide when I'll be alright

I know you're going crazy (crazy)
But happy is all that you make me (all you make me)
And now things are gonna get better baby
I know everything went wrong OK (OK)
But now it's time to get some better days (some better days)
'Cause I don't want to keep acting this way

'Cause man I know we never get things right
And it gets so old just saying we'll keep trying
But it's mine to decide when and if I'll be alright...
And that's just a thing that take time

So keep going 'till you know when it's time, when it's right
Keep showing yourself in that light
'Cause back in school man that gets cruel
But one thing is true is that man now look at you
Your heart is big enough for two

'Cause I can hear the memories in my ears
Back to the years and all those tears
But hear me when I say I'm glad 'cause we're here

I know you're going crazy (crazy)
But happy is all that you make me (all you make me)
And now things are gonna get better baby
I know everything went wrong OK (OK)
But now it's time to get some better days (get better days)
'Cause I don't want to keep acting this way

'Cause man I know we never get things right
And it gets so old just saying we'll keep trying
But it's mine to decide when and if I'll be alright...
And that's just a thing that take time
