G#m
It's been a while since the two of us talked
About a week since the day you walked
E
Knowing things would never be the same
With your empty heart and mine full of pain
     G#m
So explain to me, how it came to this
Take it back to the night we kissed
        E
It was Dublin city on a Friday night
     F#                                      G#m7
You were vodkas and cokes, I was Guinness all night

G#m
We were sitting with our backs against the world
G#m                                E
Saying things that we thought but never heard
F#
Who would have thought it would end up like this?
G#m
Where everything we talked about is gone
                               F#
And the only chance we have of moving on
                                                E
Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong

Chorus:
            F#              G#m
Before the worst, before we met
G#m
Before our hearts decide
It's time to love again
            F#              G#m
Before too late, before too long
G#m
Lets try to take it back
Before it all went wrong

There was a time when we stayed up all night
Best friends, yeah, talking till the daylight
We took the joys alongside the pain
With not much to lose but so much to gain
Are you hearing me? 'Cause I don't wanna miss
Set you adrift on a memory bliss
It was Grafton Street on a rainy night
I was down on one knee and you were mine for life

We were thinking we would never be apart
With your name tattooed across my heart
Oh, who would ever thought we would end up like this?
Where everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on
Is try to take it back before it all went wrong

Chorus

C#m
If the clouds don't clear
F#
Then we'll rise above it, we'll rise above it
C#m
Heavens gate is so near
              F#
Come walk with me through
Just like we used to, just like we used to

Yeah
Yeah

Let's take it back before it all went wrong

Chorus:
Before the worst (before)
Before we mend (before)
Before our hearts decide it's time to love again
Before too late
Before too long
Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong
(all wrong)

Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong
