Cmaj7
Did all the words I never said
Em
Hurt as bad as those I did
D
You know I never even care
C
Not before you
Cmaj7
If I could go and turn back time
Em
If I could only press rewind
D
I would bleed this heart of mine
C
Just to show you

C                             Em
I'll be the first to say I'm sorry
                   D
First to say I'm stupid
                 C
Why do I always take you there
C                                  Em
Is it hopeless, or maybe you still want to
               D
Meet me at the altar
                  C
And I will lay it all to bear

Chorus:
       C               Em
And I told you all my secrets,
        D               C
All my fears, I've let go
           C                   Em
And it's flawless, you are the only one
            D                     C
You are the only one, don't you know
            C
Don't you know

Am I fading from your mind
Has the distance blurred the lines?
They say all things heal with time
But it's untrue
I will linger on every word
I know it's more than I deserve
Chances are I'll make it worse

But I need to tell you
Tell you that I'm sorry
Tell you that I'm stupid
Why do I always take it there?
Is it hopeless or maybe you still want to
Meet me at the altar?
And I will lay it all to bare

Chorus

            C Em
Don't you know,
          D                                Am
That the hardest part is not having you to hold
           C Em
Don't you know,
          D                                  Am
This old heart of mine can't bear to see you go
