Verse 1: C#mA It's over, look out below E I'm wasted, I still taste it B Yeah it's so hard to let go C#mA So breathe in now, and breathe it out E The forecast; A car crash B It's looking like another
Refrain: AB Breakdown, rebound A This could be my last goodbye B You cross your heart, I hope to die
Chorus 1: EC#m And I can't deny your eyes A You know I try to read between the lines B I saw a warning sign EC#m And then you threw me up against the wall A Who said that it's better to have loved and lost? B I wish that I had never loved at all
(Repeat Intro but only once)
Verse 2: C#mA No rewinds, no second times E And I won't break, I won't waste B Everything you left behind C#mA So don't follow, just let it go E The weather's been better B So let it be another
(Repeat Refrain) (Repat Chorus 1)
Bridge: AE All the nights you spent sitting nowhere F#mA Out there on your own AE All the nights I waited by the phone F#mA When you were going in alone AE And all your different faces And all your different ways F#mA Are making everything a mess And all I'm saying is that AEF#mA I have different places and All the complications end today
Chorus 2: C#mB And I can't deny your eyes A You know I try to read between the lines B I saw a warning sign EC#m And then you threw me up against the wall A Who said that it's better to have loved and lost? B I wish that I had never loved at all
