Intro:

F/E FF F/E FF F/E FF F/E FF A minorAm

Verse 1:


   F/E          FF
You stood and cleared your throat

    F/E      FF
Then every word you spoke

     F/E        FF       F/E     FF
Seemed to fall out of your mouth hit the ground and explode

A minorAm
Something about the truth and that you wanted me to know

A minorAm
I was working all the time and that you hadn't been alone

   F/E         FF    F/E     FF
You said that you were sorry, how it had been hell

  F/E      FF           F/E  FF
IT hadn't been at home, cause you'd been in a hotel

A minorAm
Turned your phone towards me

A minorAm
And I felt the world melt

A minorAm
Cause I was looking at a picture of you and someone else

Pre-Chorus:


F/E FF   F/E   FF   F/E  FF
Cliched, cliched I know

     F/E   FF   G+G
But it's hard to give up hope

G+G
As the saying goes

Chorus:

            FF
It's better late than never

            G+G
There's pride before a fall

           A minorAm          G+G       C majorC
It's better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all

       E minorEm     FF
Hearts were built for breaking

              G+G
If you love them set them free

           A minorAm
Times the greatest healer

   G+G         D MajorD
And what will be will be

          FF
I just know that I miss you

             G+G
And none of it helps

          F/E FF F/E FF F/E FF F/E
Please come back to me

Verse 2:


   FF       A minorAm
I walked from the front door to my car

A minorAm
And drove straight to the bar

A minorAm
Sat down

A minorAm
Looked at the scars across my arms

  F/E        FF         F/E      FF
It all came flooding back, like I was sitting in the dark

   F/E    FF    F/E      FF
How quickly I forgot that I had come so far

A minorAm
You were more than this

     A minorAm
Said I'd never do it again

     A minorAm                 A minorAm
Because you said it hurt to see me do it to myself

   F/E    FF
But that's all gone now

   F/E        FF
And you're not here to help

 F/E        FF         F/E   G+G
Because you gave up on me just like everybody else

A minorAm
I wish that I'd been better

A minorAm
The person that you needed

                C majorC
I'm so much better than just sitting here and bleeding

F/E      FF      F/E      FF
I'm not gonna let this get worse and take hold

      F/E    FF     F/E      FF    G+G
I made a promise to myself, and I'll make it home

G+G
Well as the saying goes

Chorus:


            FF
It's better late than never

            G+G
There's pride before a fall

           A minorAm          G+G       C majorC
It's better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all

       E minorEm     FF
Hearts were built for breaking

              G+G
If you love them set them free

           A minorAm
Times the greatest healer

   G+G         D MajorD
And what will be will be

          FF
I just know that I miss you

             G+G
And none of it helps

          FF       A minorAm
Please come back to me

       DmDm         C majorC
They all say I'll be fine

     FF                 DmDm  C majorC  FF
You'll barely cross my mind, just give it time, ohh time

       DmDm        C majorC
They all say I'll survive

     FF                 Dm7Dm7
You'll barely cross my mind, just give it time, ohh time


         C majorC   FF
It's better late than never

            G+G
There's pride before a fall

           A minorAm          G+G       C majorC
It's better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all

If you love them set them free
