[Intro]

Riff 1

Am C F x2

[Verse 1]
F                        Am G
I had it all figured out.
F                        Am G
I wouldn't miss a thing.
F                         Am G
I hope you're listening now.
F                   Am G
I hope you hear me.
F                        Am G
I'm not sure what to say
F                               Am G
and I don't know how to respond.
F                  Am G
Tell me what to do
F                         Am G
if I can't be good enough.


[Chorus]
 Riff 2

Am          C              F      F
I can't believe I stood so close
Am          C            F        F
to where I throw it all away.
Am        C            F         F
There's nothing for me here anymore.
Am   C             F     F
No reason I should stay.

[Vers 2]
Riff 1

F                              Am G
Break my heart and make it fast
F                             Am G
'cause it's all already lost.
F                              Am G
Please say something just not that
F                               Am G
'cause I can't feel anything at all.



[Chorus]
Riff 2

Am          C              F      F
I can't believe I stood so close
Am          C            F        F
to where I throw it all away.
Am        C            F         F
There's nothing for me here anymore.
Am   C             F     F
No reason I should stay.
Am       C                F    F
Tell me something I don't know
Am    C            F    F
or I hope I just forgot.
Am     C                F      
And I hope he makes you laugh like I
F
 never could
Am            C               F  F
and that he's everything I'm not.



[Bridge]
Riff 3

F  G Am x2

F                          G Am
And I just want the truth.
F                      G    Am
Is it really all that hard?
F                 G       Am
But you won't get to watch
F              G   Am
when I fall apart.

[Solo]

Am C F x2

[Chorus]

Am          C              F      F
I can't believe I stood so close
Am          C            F        F
to where I throw it all away.
Am        C            F         F
There's nothing for me here anymore.
Am   C             F     F
No reason I should stay.
Am        C               F
Tell me a lie that I'll believe
Am       C           F
and then maybe I'll forget.
Am             C               F
And I can't be everything you need
Am          G            F
but I meant everything I said.


[Outro]

Am         C                 F
I can't believe I stood so close
Am         C                 F
to where I throw it all away.
