Verse 1
(D major) (E minor) (D major) (C major) (A minor) It's (G major) hard
to say now who (A minor) left first
(G major) It (C major) used to seem so clear (Dsus4)
(C major) You and I were tangled (A minor)
from the start (D major) (E minor)
(D major) Some (G major) how the scales just fell away
And I'm (C major) left (D major) standing (E minor) here
Blown (A minor) open in the hole
that was my part (Dsus4) (D major)
Verse 2
I (C major) wrap the dark (G major) around (Dsus4) me
There's no (E minor) solace here tonight
(D major) There's just (C major) wishing and
(G major) regret (A minor) for company
(D major) (E minor) (F sharpdim) My (G major) glass
is raised for all the ways
We (C major) tried to (D major) get it right (E minor)
And I'm (A minor) sorry for the ones (Dsus4)
we couldn't (D major) be (E minor) (A minor)
I'm so sorry for (G major) the ones (D major)
we couldn't (Dsus4) be
(G major)

Verse 3
Looking through these
(A minor) photographs (G major)
(C major) Searching for a clue (Dsus4) (C major)
How you and I got tangled (A minor) from
the start (D major) (E minor)
(F sharpdim) Not (G major) even blood could forge a bond
Enough (C major) to (D major) get us through (E minor)
Or (A minor) stem the tides that pulled us far apart
Verse 4
(D major) I'm (E minor) (F sharpdim) (D major) sorry for the ways
(G major) I couldn't give you
(A minor) What you needed (C major)
For (D major) all the ways I (G major) strung us
(C major) both along (G major) (A minor)
They (E flat major) say it goes both ways (G major) and I sup (C major) pose
I (G major) could concede (A minor) (B flat major) it
Seems to matter more,
now (G minor) that you're gone (A minor) (C major)
Verse 5
And (G major) though it seems much kinder (A minor) (G major)
Just to (C major) leave some things
un (Dsus4) said (C major)
Like all the ways (A minor) I tore
myself apart (D major) (E minor)
(F sharpdim) If you (G major) really want forgiveness, better
Try (C major) the truth (D major) instead
(E minor) It (A minor) may not be enough, (Dsus4) but it's a start
Verse 6
(G major) I (C major) wrap the dark (G major) around me
There's no solace (E minor) here to (G major) night (D major)
There's (C major) just wishing and re
gret (A minor) for company
(D major) (E minor) (D major) My (G major) glass is raised
for all the ways
We (C major) tried to (D major) get it right (E minor)
And I'm (A minor) sorry for the ones
(D major) we couldn't be (E minor) (A minor)
I'm so sorry for (G major) the ones (D major) (Dsus4)
(A minor) Sorry for (G major) the ones (D major)
I'm so (A minor) sorry for (G major) the one (D major) I (Dsus4) couldn't be (D major)
