Capo on 3rd fret
                [D]     [A]   [Bm]
I'm falling into words I never knew,
                [G]     [D]            [A]
I never meant to say the words, "I love you"
              [D]       [A]      [G] 
But it's in my heart and it feels new
              [D]                 [A]
Is it true for you, is it true for you?
[D] [A] [G]
[Bm] [A] [G]
                       [D]       [A]     [Bm]
Of course you'd like to play that we'd be friends,
                     [G]        [D]      [A]
It couldn't stay that way 'cause we'd pretend,
                [D]        [A]      [G]
But then I heard about your new boyfriend
               [D]                   [A]
Where did I go wrong, where did I go wrong?
                       [D]
I'm sorry I forgot your birthday,
                      [A]
I'm sorry 'cause I'm a shit face
                     [Bm]
I thought it was on a Wednesday,
             [G]
A Monday or a Tuesday,
                    [D]
It's all the same to me
                     [A]
So what will make you happy?
                  [Bm]
Tell me 'cause I'm sorry
                    [G]
These colors that we find
                    [D]
Look all the same to me
[D]
                       [D]      [A]   [Bm]
I know that you've been hurt but in the end,
                    [G]           [D]            [A]
I'd like to say it's worth all the things that we did
                       [D]     [A]      [G]
But now you've found me out, my inside's dead
                [D]                     [A]
What have i done wrong, what have i done wrong?
                       [D]
I'm sorry I forgot your birthday,
                      [A]
I'm sorry 'cause I'm a shit face
                     [Bm]
I thought it was on a Wednesday,
             [G]
A Monday or a Tuesday,
                    [D]
It's all the same to me
                     [A]
So what will make you happy?
                  [Bm]
Tell me 'cause I'm sorry
                    [G]
These colors that we bind
                   [Bm]
Look all the same to me
          [G]                         [D]
I couldn't take those things away from you
            [A]                [Bm]
I've made mistakes, but so have you
             [G]                 [A]
We could have made it work but we lost
When you left and you didn't have to,
                          [D]
You didn't have to, didn't have to
                       [A]
I'm sorry I forgot your birthday,
                     [Bm]
I thought it was on a Wednesday
                 [G]
What did all your friends say?
                       [D]
They're all the same to me
                      [A]
So what would make you happy?
                  [Bm]
Tell me 'cause I'm sorry
                   [G]
These days, they go by
                    [D]
Feel all the same to me
                    [A]
Feel all the same to me
                    [Bm]
Feel all the same to me
                    [G]
Feel all the same to me
                    [D]
Feel all the same to me
[D]
