I didn’t mean to treat you | bad |
| Cadd9 |
But I d | id it anyway |
Em7 | Dsus4 |
Some would say your life was | sad |
| Cadd9 |
But you | lived it anyway |
| Em7 | Dsus4 |
Your | friends they stand around, they watch you | crumble |
| Cadd9 |
As you | falter to the ground |
| Em7 | Dsus4 |
Your | friends they stand beside as you were | flying |
| Cadd9 |
Oh you were | flying oh so high |
| G | Em7 |
But then | someday people look at you for | what they call their own |
| Dsus4 |
They watch you | suffer |
| Cadd9 |
Yeah they | hear you calling home |
| G |
And then | someday we could take our time |
| Em7 | Dsus4 |
To b | rush the leaves aside so you can | reach us |

But I | did it anyway, now I said |
| G | Em7 | Dsus4 |
But | may-ay-ay-ay-be | some would say you’re left with | what you had |
| Cadd9 |
But you | couldn’t share the pain, no no no |
G | Em7 | Dsus4 | Cadd9 |
| Couldn’t share the pain, they watch you | suffer, mm | mm mm |
Em7 | Dsus4 |
I could have made my own mis | takes |
| Cadd9 |
But I | live with what I’ve known |
Em7 |
We might share in something great |
| Dsus4 |
But won’t you l | ook at where we’ve grown |
| Cadd9 |
Won’t you l | ook at where we’ve gone |
| G |
And then | someday comes tomorrow holds |
| Em7 | Dsus4 |
A s | ense of what I feel for you in | my mind |
| Cadd9 |
As you | trip the final line |
| G |
And that | cold day when you lost control |
Em7 | Dsus4 |
Shame you left my life so soon you should have | told me |
