INTRO
{C#m - B - E - B} x2
VERSE 1
C#m B E
I woke up today
B C#m B E
Seeing all the stars that you have thrown
B C#m B E
Wounded by the same old shots you take
B C#m B E
It's easier to kick the wind that low
CHORUS
A E
And I just thought that you should know
B F# A
If I could only know why you'd been letting go
E B
Then it's not too late to say it right this time
D
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
A B
But that's not what I meant to say
{C#m - B - E - B} x2
VERSE 2
C#m B E
Strong enough to say
B C#m B E
That I don't wanna take the hard road now
B C#m B E
S-S-So typical of you to walk away
B C#m B E
When your perfect little world is burning down
CHORUS
A E
And I just thought that you should know
B F# A
That I'd been holding on while you'd been letting go
E
Can I be so bold
B F# A

Just think of all the ones you made
