Verse 1
A
In one single moment
your whole life can turn 'round
I stand there for a minute
staring straight into the ground
A/D
Looking to the left slightly
then looking back down
World feels like its caved in,
proper sorry frown
A
Please let me show you
how we could only just be for us
I can change and I can grow
or we can adjust
A/D
The wicked thing about us is
we always have trust
We can even have an open relationship,
if we must
A
I look at her, she stares
almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze over
like she's looking straight through me
A/D
Then her eyes must have closed
for what seems an eternity
When they opened up

Chorus 1
she's lookin' down at her feet
A
Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take
A/D
but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
A
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see
A/D
how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now, its over
Verse 2
A
So then I moved my hand off
and down by my side, shaking
My life is crashing before my eyes
A/D
Turn the palm of my hand
up to face the skies
Touched the bottom of her chin
and let out a sigh
A
'Cause I can't imagine my life
without you and me
There's things I can't imagine doing,
things I can't imagine seeing
A/D
It weren't supposed to be easy, surely
Please please, I'm begging, please
A
She brings her hands up towards
where my hands rested
She wraps her fingers 'round mine
with the softness she's blessed with
A/D
She peels away my fingers
looks at me and then gestures
By pushing my hand away
Chorus 2
to my chest from hers
A
Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take
A/D
but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
A
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see
A/D
how much this pain hurts
Interlude 1
But you've got to walk away now, it's over
A
E/G#
[spoken] And I'm just standing there
I can't say a word
F#m7
E
'Cause everything has just gone
Dadd9
I've got nothing
A
Absolutely nothing
Verse 3
A
Trying to pull her close out
of bare desperation
Put my arms around her
to try to change what she's saying
A/D
Put my head level with hers
so she might engage in
Look into her eyes
to make her listen again
A
I'm not gonna fuckin' just
fuckin' leave it all now
'Cause you said it'd be forever
and that was your vow
A/D
And you're gonna let our things
simply crash and fall down
You're well out of order now,
this is well out of town
A
She pulls away, my arms
that are tightly clamped around her waist
Gently pushes me back
as she looks at me straight
A/D
Turns around
so she's now got her back to my face
Takes one step forward, looks back
Chorus 3
and then walks away
A
Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take
A/D
but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
A
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see
A/D
how much this pain hurts
Bridge 1

A

D6

The more you pull away
