[Intro]
Em C
Let me tell you the saddest story
D
Love lost, left broken and empty
Em C
Put my heart in the hands of another
D Em
Set a fire to the past and watched me burn
[Interlude]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em C
Somehow I guess it's better this way
D
Looking back, was it all just a mistake?
Em C
Thought I could live in the arms of another
D Em
But I guess I wasn't enough for her
[Chorus 1]
Em C Em
I wanna feel the love you can't live without
D Em
The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about
Em C Em
But I gave it all away for no return
D Em
Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn
[Verse 2]
Em C
I've been putting myself through your Hell
Em B E Em
Holding on to things that don't even matter now
C
You found your place in the arms of another
D G
But now I see it's just the way the Earth will turn
[Chorus 2]
Em C Em
I wanna feel the love you can't live without
G Em
The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about
C Em
But I gave it all away for no return
D Em
Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn
C Em
Can't seem to fill the void that lives in my chest
G Em
Thought I was what you need, but I'm just second best
C Em
I'll never give it all away again I swear
D C
Don't even look for a heart, you'll find there's nothing there
[Interlude C, Em, Am, D]
[Bridge]
Em C Am Em
(I can't take it back)
All the years that we spent together have come to an end
Em C D Em
(Regret is all I had)
Not sure I would if I could do it all over again
Em C Am Em
(I can't take it back)
The memories, the pictures, I love you's will wither
Em C D Em D
(Regret is all I had)
But this is the last song I'll write about you
Em
Forget my name
Am
Forget my face
Em
It was all just empty space
Am
Deadweight; no longer part of me
[Outro]
Em C D (2x) Em
