A#           Am
I picked the right one
A#               F
You picked the wrong one
A#         Am
Days of confessing
Gm              F
Nights spent obsessing

A#                   F
Recently I've been walking home
A#                       F
And take the long way through the rain
A#                    F
Sit in the cafe, the cinema
G                   C
I watch the people making out

I'm lost I know it, I'm waiting for
Some kind of message, some kind of break
They say, good things happen if you wait
I get the river of tears to cross

I once was a butterfly
Me and him were the girl and guy
You'd wanna be with a lot of fun
Can you believe it all went wrong?

I picked the right one
You picked the wrong one
Days of confessing
Nights spent obsessing

A#                        F
(Woo!) Where did all the people go?
(Where did they go?)
A#                            F
'Cause when you break that's when you know
A#                       F
Who's on your side and who's with him
G                          C
And all the rubbish that's in between
A#                F
I didn't mean to make me cry
A#                     F
You took the love and let it die

A#                     F
There's a place where love remains
G
I'm gonna find it and

A#          Am
there I'll stay
A#               Am
There I'm gonna stay
             C
The little dried up streams on my
                     G
face are painting a horror show
          C                                G
Just between myself and the mirror I am a lonely
soul
                Am
Oh but I try to overcome
            Em
Oh and I'm feeling numb
          F                                       A
I listen to my friends' advice but it all falls flat
        F                                       C
When I finally see her with him that's when I know

              A#
Oh, I should let it go
 Am
Let it go
 Gm
Let it go
 F
Let it go
