I Ctold you I   G/Bwould Ambe there for yGou; 
a Cpromise I   G/Bintend to keAmep. G  
But the Csubject matter G/Bhits a little too close to hGome. 
                         Am        G     Fsus2  G-Fsus2-G  
and now I can't take back what I gave. 
With all the tiCmes we've seen,       G/Bthe states that wAme've been in,G  
you always saCved me from my troG/Bubled self, iAmt seemed, G  
but now I'm heaCring all these woG/Brds you say, 
anAmd I'm not sure if GI can stay and lAmisten to you meltGing all my dreFsus2ams. 
Chorus: 
Baby it's yCsus2ou      Cthat kept my feG/Bet on the groAmundG  
thought that I coCsus2uld    Cchoose if I G/Balways waAmnted you aroundG  
darling I     Csus2do  Cthink we need G/Btime apaAmrt, G  
I still Amneed time to meGnd my broken Fsus2seams.  
I  Ctold you I    G/Bwould lAmisten to you, G  
so I'm   CaG/Bll ears. Am  
But don't asCk me to respG/Bond to your plAmeas for my advicGe, 
'cause now IAm'm too burdenGed to spFsus2eak. 
I tAmhink the time has come fGor me to gFo... oh,
I can't be Dmby myself, but there is Cno-one else, G  
and well it hDmurts to know someone else tastes your     ClipsG,

G/B

Fsus2

Csus2

C G/B Am G

I told you I would be there for you;

C G/B Am G

a promise I intend to keep.

C G/B G

But the subject matter hits a little too close to home.

Am G Fsus2 G Fsus2 G

and now I can't take back what I gave.

C G/B Am G

With all the times we've seen, the states that we've been in,

C G/B Am G

you always saved me from my troubled self, it seemed,

C G/B

but now I'm hearing all these words you say,

Am G Am G Fsus2

and I'm not sure if I can stay and listen to you melting all my dreams.

Chorus:

Csus2 C G/B Am G

Baby it's you that kept my feet on the ground

Csus2 C G/B Am G

thought that I could choose if I always wanted you around

Csus2 C G/B Am G

darling I do think we need time apart,

Am G Fsus2

I still need time to mend my broken seams.

C G/B Am G

I told you I would listen to you,

C G/B Am

so I'm all ears.

C G/B Am G

But don't ask me to respond to your pleas for my advice,

Am G Fsus2

'cause now I'm too burdened to speak.

Am G F

I think the time has come for me to go... oh,

Dm C G

I can't be by myself, but there is no-one else,

Dm C G

and well it hurts to know someone else tastes your lips,

Dm C F G

but I cannot forget how hard I cried when I discovered you had lied,

Am G F

when you said I could never hurt like this.

Fsus2 Am G C

C G/B Am G

Cause I'm weary, I'm so weary, I told you I'd be there,

C G/B Am

I'm broken, I'm so broken but I'm here.

C G/B Am G

It's painful, it's so painful, I told you I'd be -

Am G Fsus2

these are secrets I cannot afford to hear,

Am G Fsus2

oh well these are secrets I cannot afford to hear, no no.
