[Verse 1]
Eb Bb
Hard to believe I won't see you again
Cm Gm7
We were just fighting when winter began
Ab
The coldness of our words
Bb Eb Bb
Competing with the wind from the north
[Verse 2]
Eb Bb
Still they make me shiver, but in a very different way
Cm Gm7
The pages of the calendar kept turning away
Ab
I have some better words now
Bb Eb Bb
But it's too late to say them to you
[Verse 3]
Eb Bb
My dream of all dreams, and my hope of all hopes
Cm Gm7
Is only to tell you and make sure you know
Ab Bb Eb Bb
How much I love you and how much I always did
[Verse 4]
Eb
And yes, I know you loved me
Bb
I could see it in your eyes
Cm Gm7
And it was in your struggle and it was in your mind
Ab Bb Eb Bb
And it was in the smile you gave me when I was a kid
[Chorus]
Eb Cm Bb
Feels like no one understands
Eb Cm Bb Ab Bb
And now my only chance to talk to you is
Cm Bb Ab
Through my prayers
Ab Bb Cm Eb
I only wanted to tell you I cared
[Verse 3]
Eb Bb
Every night after and every day since
Cm Gm7
I found myself crying when the memory hits
Ab
Sometimes it knocks me down
Bb Eb Bb
Sometimes I can just put it away
Eb Bb
Down in my mind where I don't care to go
Cm Gm7
The pain of a lesson is letting me know
Ab Bb
If you have love in your heart
Eb Bb
Let it show while you can
[Chorus]
Eb Cm Bb
Feels like no one understands
Eb Cm Bb Ab Bb
And now my only chance to talk to you is
Cm Bb Ab
Through my prayers
Ab Bb Cm Eb
I only wanted to tell you I cared
[Outro]
Ab Bb Cm Eb
I only wanted to tell you I cared
