Verse 1

It all goes back to the first kiss

It was the one I thought I'd never miss

Maybe we were one of the lucky ones

Maybe I'm just not quite strong enough

Verse 2

This was supposed to be the easy part

But breaking down is what I found hard

Now I'm wearing this smile that

I don't believe in

Inside, I feel like screaming

Pre-chorus 1

She gave me every reason to believe

I'd found the one

But my doubts, somehow

They sold me out

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

When a song moves through a lot of chords, the strumming hand has to stay steady through every switch. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and the timing that make changes easier. Smooth out your strumming

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
