🎸 Verse 1:
D          G                       D
The moment came and went, my darlin'
            G                                D
We're still here while the thunder's storming
       G                   Bm    G
Didn't work
Lord knows we tried
D                   G
I'm looking in your eyes with memories flashing
D                 G
How did we fly so high and end up crashing?
D                G                 Bm   G
Hanging on where love and truth collide

Why does it take so long to say goodbye?

Hide behind the mask of what we're wanting
D          G            Bm  G
I wish you hated me somehow
D          G
I start to leave
I start to miss you
D                G
Then the feeling leads to wanna kiss you
D            G           Bm  G
I can't live with or without

         G
When the tears start falling down?
D                      Em7
Don't wanna break your heart
                       Bm7
Don't wanna wreck your world
                     G
Don't wanna make you cry
