                      Am           G        F
Well you were waiting for me, you saw me, adored me
                E
As I wish the whole world would
                 Am         G          F
You would never hurt me, desert me or work me
                         E
For all the things you thought you could

And you would lick the tears from my eyes when I cry
How I missed you when I was gone
Hurt me so to leave you, deceive you, I needed you
I believed in you

Chorus:
   C    Em                     Am
Oh I I never meant to let you down
      F                         C
I’ll wait with the stake in my heart
   Em                    Am
I never meant to put you down
      F        E7        C
I’m trying not to fall apart

Now all I have is riches and pictures and stitches
Money could never buy what you gave
And though my heart is achin' and breakin', I'm makin'
The most of what you send my way

Now I want just to hold you, unfold you, I told you
See, I am coming back for you
Yeah, I know we will be okay everyday
The sun shines a little brighter

Chorus:
Oh, I, I never meant to let you down
I'll wait with a stake in my heart
I never meant to put you down
I'm trying not to fall apart
I never meant to let you down
I'll wait with a stake in my heart
I never meant to put you down
I'm trying not to fall apart

     E7                 Am  G  D  
I’m trying not to fall apart

F              Em
We’ll reunite oh we’ll set alight
     F                      G   G#
I’m wishing with all of my might

Chorus:
Oh no, I never meant to let you down
(I wait with a stake in my heart)
I never meant to put you down
(I'm trying not to fall apart)
I never meant to let you down
(I wait with a stake in my heart)
I never meant to put you down
Yeah, I'm trying not to fall
