Intro: Bm D G Bm (2x)
 
 
Verse 
Bm      D            G         Bm 
Someone told me that I?ll want more 
          Bm        D      G          Bm 
That I'll feel half empty, ripped and torn 
         Bm          D            G        Bm 
They say there'll be plenty other hands to hold 
      Bm          D       G     Bm 
Now I wish they'd told me long ago 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Em D          G            D 
Oooh, I don't want this to break you 
Em D               G              D 
Oooh, but I've got no one else to talk to 
 
        G           D                  Bm A 
I don't know if you mean everything to me 
      G           D                   Bm   F#m 
And I wonder, can I give you what you need? 
      G            D 
Don't want to find I've lost it all 
    A              Bm 
Too scared to have no one to call 
Em        D       G 
So can we just pretend 
               Em        D         G 
That we're not falling into the deep end? 
 
 
 
Verse 
Bm          D      G         Bm 
You've gone quiet, you don't call 
    Bm        D     G  Bm 
And nothing's funny anymore 
    Bm        D         G        Bm 
And I'll keep trying to help you heal 
     Bm       D          G        Bm 
I'll stop you crying and dry your tears 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Em D          G            D 
Oooh, I don't want this to break you 
Em D               G              D 
Oooh, but I've got no one else to talk to 
 
        G           D                  Bm A

      G            D 
Don't want to find I've lost it all 
    A              Bm 
Too scared to have no one to call 
Em        D       G 
So can we just pretend 
 
 
Bridge 
G    A   D         G    D 
Oooh-ooh How do we mend? 
G    A            D        A  G    D  G A 
Oooh-ooh I didn't choose to depend on you 
     Bm     A   Em 
It's out of our hands 
      Em           D        G 
Maybe it will work out in the end

Em        D       G 
So can we just pretend
