|D11(no7)    |Amadd9     |D11(no7)   |Amadd9     | 
 
D11(no7)     Am9    
  I close my eyes 
     Em7 
And imagine you're here 
                   D11(no7) 
Did it all seem so hopeless 
          Am9    
Given the chance 
Em7 
I would ask forgive me  
 
              D11(no7) Am9      Em7 
I didn't do a thing to make you stay 
               D11(no7) Am9      Em7 
I didn't say a word to  make you stay  
                D11(no7) 
If I would have known 
             Am9              Em7 
Could I have tried to make it easier 
                  Bm 
But I didn't do a thing 
         A 
Or say a word 
    G5    
One word  
   
D11(no7)          Cadd9      G5               D11(no7) 
 And I don't know why you?re gone, now you?re gone 
                 Cadd9 
No beautiful goodbye 
         G5             D11(no7) 
You will never leave my mind 
                    Cadd9      G5                 D11(no7) 
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams  
Cadd9                         
Now you?re, you're a star in heaven  
 
|D11(no7)    |Am9        |D11(no7)   |Am9        | 
 
My thoughts unsaid 
Stuck in my head 
And it all feels so useless 
Never forget to give all I have 
Forgive me 
 
I couldn't do a thing to make you stay 
And I couldn't say a word to make you stay  
If I could have known 
Could I have tried to make it easier 
But I couldn't do a thing 
Or say a word  
One word

                 Cadd9 
No beautiful goodbye 
         G5             D11(no7) 
You will never leave my mind 
                    Cadd9      G5                 D11(no7)
