              Intro 
D D D G 
 
 
 Verse 1:
D          G     C                D 
Some days, every word gets in our way 
G              C               D 
You don't make sense of what I say 
G         F#           E 
And every answer begs another question why 
  C           G D 
I didn't want to 
 
Verse 2:
 
D     G            C                  D 
Maybe I could have changed the way it was 
G            C                 D 
I could have made much more of us 
G        F#                 E 
And if I failed, perhaps it wasn't just because 
  C           G D 
I didn't want to 
 
 
 Pre-Chorus
E                  E 
Don't take it as a sign 
                      G 
The stars were out of line 
           D 
But heaven knows 
F#m           F#m 
Whoever I was then 
                   E               A 
She won't be back again so let her go 
 
 
 
    D               D 
But you I wouldn't change 
            D 
I wouldn't change 
            D N.C.            G 
I wouldn't change you if I could 
     A 
It's understood 
G                   A 
They got hardboard, I got solid wood 
 
 
Break 
D G C x2 
 
 
Verse 3:
D       G       C               D 
Somehow if I am wont to take my time 
G        C                 D 
If I dig in where I should mine 
G          F#               E 
It doesn't build a case for your friends to decide 
  C           G D 
I didn't want you 
 
 Pre-Chorus
E                    E 
Don't take it on yourself 
                          G               D 
Put your heartache on the shelf and come away 
F#m                        F#m 
Just because you got drunk first 
                          E                 A 
Doesn't mean that I don't thirst for you today 
 
 
 
    D               D 
And you I wouldn't change 
            D 
I wouldn't change 
            D N.C.            G 
I wouldn't change you if I could 
     A 
It's understood 
G                   A 
They got hardboard, I got solid wood

'Cause nothing ever felt so good
