Capo on 3rd fret Intro G Let's Go! Verse 1 G Cadd9 In the beginning I was up front Em D Nothing to think about, you'd always hear me out G Cadd9 We made a pact to never give up Em D When everything would change, we'd always stay the same Pre-Chorus G Something went wrong along the way Cadd9 You'd come around and there's nothing left to say Em D It's like we're strangers anyway, what more could you ask of me Em D It's been a long time coming, but everyone's gonna hear me now G If I leave, bet you'll wish I'd stayed Cadd9 Make you regret all the things you said to me Em You know that time can't help us now, D If I leave this, if I leave this way. Verse 2 G Cadd9 I've always been a man of action, Em D Never let anything keep ahold of me G Cadd9 Can always tell when something's missing, Em D Like I knew everything except for you and me Pre-Chorus G I can't make you want to stay, Cadd9 I'll take a shot but it's broken anyway Em D I still gave it everything, I guess I never catch my break Em D It's been a long time coming, but everyone's gonna hear me now G If I leave, bet you'll wish I'd stayed Cadd9 Make you regret all the things you said to me Em You know that time can't help us now, D You know that time can't help us now, G If I leave I should move away, Cadd9 And try to right all the wrongs we've ever made Em Well let your problems weight me down D If I leave this, if I leave this way. Bridge G Never thought you'd be the last one standing Cadd9 Never thought that we would come this far Em You'll always be there looking over my shoulder D Come to terms with exactly what we are G Never thought you'd be the last one standing Cadd9 Never thought that we would come this far Em You'll always be there looking over my shoulder D Come to terms with exactly what we are G If I leave, bet you'll wish I?d stayed Cadd9 Make you regret all the things you said to me Em You know that time can't help us now, D You know that time can't help us now, G If I leave I should move away, Cadd9 And try to right all the wrongs we've ever made Em Well let your problems weight me down D If I leave this, if I leave this way. Outro G Never thought you'd be the last one standing Cadd9 Never thought that we would come this far Em You'll always be there looking over my shoulder D G If I leave this, if I leave this way.
