[Intro]
Cmaj7 Em D C
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Did all the words I never said
Em
Hurt as bad as those I did
D
You know I never even care
C
Not before you
Cmaj7
If I could go and turn back time
Em
If I could only press rewind
D
I would bleed this heart of mine
C
Just to show you
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em
I'll be the first to say I'm sorry
D
First to say I'm stupid
C
Why do I always take you there
C Em
Is it hopeless, or maybe you still want to
D
Meet me at the altar
C
And I will lay it all to bear
[Chorus]
C Em
And I told you all my secrets,
D C
All my fears, I've let go
C Em
And it's flawless, you are the only one
D C
You are the only one, don't you know
C
Don't you know
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
Am I fading from your mind
Em
Has the distance blurred the lines
D
They say : All things heal with time
C
But it's untrue
Cmaj7
I will linger on every word
Em
I know it's more than I deserve
D
Chances are I'll make it worse
C
But I need to
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em
Tell you, tell you that I'm sorry
D
Tell you that I'm stupid
C
Why do I always take you there
C Em
Is it hopeless, or maybe you still want to
D
Meet me at the altar
C
And I will lay it all to bear
[Chorus]
C Em
And I told you all my secrets,
D C
All my fears, I've let go
C Em
And it's flawless, you are the only one
D C
You are the only one, don't you know
[Bridge]
C Em
Don't you kno-o-ow,
D Am
That the hardest part is not having you to hold
C Em
Don't you kno-o-ow,
D Am
This old heart of mine can't bear to see you go
[Chorus] (x3)
C Em
And I told you all my secrets,
D C
All my fears, I've let go
C Em
And it's flawless, you are the only one
D C
You are the only one, don't you know
End on C
