(No Chord---------)D
Just because we're scared
G+G
Doesn't mean we're wrong
A augmentedA
The world wont end today
D MajorD
If both of us move on
D MajorD
But didn't we have a time?
G+G
You can't take that away
A augmentedA
We've had a change of mind
D MajorD
I think it's safe to say
D MajorD G+G
That I've been holding on to you
D MajorD
And you've been holding on to me
A augmentedA
'Cause neither of us wants to be
D MajorD
The first to say goodbye
D MajorD G+G
And so it goes, we must admit
D MajorD
How we both thought that this was it
A augmentedA
Tough we couldn't make the pieces fit
D MajorD
You can't say we didn't try

(No Chord----------------) D MajorD
Close the window, pull the shade
G+G
Turn the key and lock the door
A augmentedA
We'd best forget the plans we made
D MajorD
We don't live here anymore
D MajorD
Maybe somewhere down the line
G+G
We'll remember who we were
A augmentedA
Another place, another time
D MajorD
Some old feelings start to stir
D MajorD G+G
But I've been holding on to you
D MajorD
And you've been holding on to me
A augmentedA
'Cause neither of us wants to be
D MajorD
The one to say goodbye
D MajorD G+G
And so it goes we've grown apart
D MajorD
Guess you could say we lost a heart
A augmentedA G*
And even though we came up short
(No chord-------------------)
