That's why I said the things I said
EmStanding in the ruins of us I realized
The damage I've doneF  
CHeaven knows I didn't come to get you back and make it right
AmI'm only here to tell you now I see you in a different light

C Am Em F

Basic chords through chorus and verses :

Baby can you hear me there

I know you're hanging by a thread

My misery needs company

That's why I said the things I said

Standing in the ruins of us I realized

The damage I've done

Heaven knows I didn't come to get you back and make it right

I'm only here to tell you now I see you in a different light

In the end you need to know the things I said

Are not who you are

So baby be gentle with yourself

You know you're like no one else

Down to your soul

You really are beautiful

You Really are beautiful

I'm sorry that I broke your trust

I wasn't strong there for you

I never heard a word you said

Or took the proper care of you

Looking at the heart of it

It's obvious to see I was wrong

Please ignore the consequence of ugliness,

I wear so well

Please forget the bitter words

That locked you in my prison cell

I won't try to argue with

We both know you got every right

To hate me

But baby be gentle with yourself

You know you're like no one else

Down to your soul

You really are beautiful

So baby pick your dreams up off the shelf

Wish all your ghosts farewell

Tell them you know

You really are beautiful

Bridge :

Lift your head

You never were broken,

It's my mess

Blame it on me

Baby

*palm mute* or (quieter slower strumming)

so promise you'd be gentle with yourself

You know you're like no one else

Down to your soul

You really are beautiful

So baby pick your dreams up off the shelf

Wish all your ghosts farewell

Tell them you know

You really are beautiful

you Really are beautiful
