Capo on 4th fret
              
 
 
Intro: 
 
G      D/F# Em7       (2x) 
Em7  D  C    
Em7  D  C    G  D/F#    
 
  
 
Verse 1 
 
Em7             D                          C 
   You're ashamed about all your fears and doubts 
                 Em7 
And how I hurt you, 
               D                         C 
Can you make it back from the aftermath 
G            D/F#   Em7 
 
  And how I left you 
                 D         C 
Nobody wants to be alone 
                             Em7 
With the fear of letting go 
 
                      D                        C 
If you could hear me say "It's gonna be okay" 
 
G          D/F#       G 
  Would you be okay? 
 
 
                        Em7 
And though I've gone away 
        D/F#                           G     
I still see what you're going through 
                     Em7 
It kills me every day 
                 D/F#                         G 
To know I killed what meant most to you 
                              Em7 
So when you pass my grave 
               D/F#                       G 
Leave a rose for what might have been 
                      Em7 
And know that it's okay 
                      D/F#                      
To shed your fears and find love again 
 
  
Em7  D  C    
 
Em7  D  C    G  D/F#     
 
 
Verse 2 
 
Em7             D                        
    For better or worse you`re the one, 
C                         
I never thought I`d hurt 
              Em7  
But looking back on these dreams 
D                         C 
nothing is what it seems; 
                   G           D/F#    G      
know that you`ll wake up to better things 
 
 
                        Em7 
And though I've gone away 
        D/F#                           G     
I still see what you're going through 
                     Em7 
It kills me every day 
                 D/F#                         G 
To know I killed what meant most to you 
                              Em7 
So when you pass my grave 
               D/F#                       G 
Leave a rose for what might have been 
                      Em7 
And know that it's okay 
                      D/F#                      
To shed your fears and find love again 
  
 
Bridge 
 
C                  Em7 
  I hear you say 
     D                C                Em7  D 
"I don't know how and I don't know why" 
C                                Em7 
  But there will come one day 
                D           C            Em7      D 
When I'll tell you all the things inside 
C                                 Em7       D              
Just know there's someone above here to help you 
 
 
                        Em7 
And though I've gone away 
        D/F#                           G     
I still see what you're going through 
                     Em7 
It kills me every day 
                 D/F#                         G 
To know I killed what meant most to you 
                              Em7 
So when you pass my grave 
               D/F#                       G 
Leave a rose for what might have been 
                      Em7 
And know that it's okay 
                      D/F#                      
To shed your fears and find love again
