Verse 1:
C
  Took a break, needed space
           Em
I could've begged you to stay
                              Am
But if this is really what you want
                           F
Then who am I to say you're wrong?
C
  And maybe I misunderstood
           Em
I could've sworn that you said
                               Am
"Baby, no one knows me like you do"
                               F
And now it's like I don't know you

Pre-chorus:
G
  I'm pouring tears in a paper cut
               F
You're walking away from us
               G
Like you don't even know


Chorus:
  C                          G/B
I could've been someone who loved you
              Am                       G
Could've been sitting in the passenger side
F                       Em
Making you laugh 'cause another year passed
     F                 G
And birthdays make you cry
  C                         G/B
I could've been someone who listened
          Am                    G
Wanted so bad just to make it alright
  F                         Em
I could've been someone who loved you
    F                         G
But now I'm just someone who tried
N.C.
And I tried


Verse 2:
C
Different clothes, different hair
        Em
I even tried not to care
                          Am
I did anything to be your type
                           F
The version of me just you liked
C
 'Cause neighborhoods and baby names
        Em
Yeah, I thought we were close
                      Am
But maybe I was miles ahead
                             F
Believing all the things you said


Pre-chorus:
G
  I'm pouring tears in a paper cut
               F
You're walking away from us
                 G
From all that we could've been

I could've been


Chorus:
  C                          G/B
I could've been someone who loved you
              Am                       G
Could've been sitting in the passenger side
F                       Em
Making you laugh 'cause another year passed
     F                 G
And birthdays make you cry
  C                         G/B
I could've been someone who listened
          Am                    G
Wanted so bad just to make it alright
  F                         Em
I could've been someone who loved you
    F                         G
But now I'm just someone who tried
N.C.
And I tried


Post-chorus:
  G/B          Am
I tried, and I tried
   G           F
I tried, and I tried
   Em F G
I tried


Outro:
C G/B Am G F Em F G
