STANDARD TUNING w/
CAPO ON 4
Em*                             G*
  She was staring out the window
                             Am*
And the snow, it was falling
                                       C*
Seemed like everything I used to know, mmmm
It was crumbling
                     Em                  G  Am*
She cannot cope and it hurts inside her mind
Couldn't let it go, let it go
Em*                   G*
Couldn't bear to ever be alone
Am*                       C*
She wondered how this had happened
He Ggave you up and Amthen he let you Emdown
And all the Ctrust is broken Gnow
You can't remember Amhow it used to Embe
Doesn't have to be a Cheartbreak storyG  
Just say you'll Amlet me in your Emheart
I should've Cbeen there from the Gstart
I promise you as Amlong as you're with Emme
                  C -once          (pause)
There'll never be heartbreak story
  EmGirl, there is no need to hide awayG  
What's done is done nowAm  
Tangled up, you and I layC  
Here together as one now
EmI'll surround you and Gkeep you safeAm  
Everyday, everyday
EmI know you never like to Gbe aloneAm  
And now you don't Chave to
He Ggave you up and Amthen he let you Emdown
And all the Ctrust is broken Gnow
You can't remember Amhow it used to Embe
Doesn't have to be a Cheartbreak storyG  
Just say you'll Amlet me in your Emheart
I should've Cbeen there from the Gstart
I promise you as Amlong as you're with Emme
                   C-once           Em  G
