First time chording, I hope they're accurate, but it beats the nothing that was out there.
DAhhhh F#mAhh Ahh  (2x)
DMaybe it's just that we Gmet up under Emfalse terms
DOr maybe the universe Gplaying jokes on Emus
DTried to keep my light on
DTried to keep me light on
GBut you oh boy did you Emknow
AI got my feet on the Bmground
You would not Gknow me now
AGotta keep my world in Bmcheck
Believe me when I say it's Gover
'Cause GI know I know I know
DI tried but I can't Bmfake it
I see you Gcalling but I know I can't Emtake it
DAfter covering all those Bmbases
Been Ghere before you should've Emknow
You can't have it Dall
DLooking back now, I can Gsee I
Made some Emmistakes
DApologizing when you Gwere wrong
Then paying for your Emplace
DCut my heart open, GI layed it all out
Now I Emchanged the locks you know
AI got my feet on the Bmground
You would not Gknow me now
AGotta keep my world in Bmcheck
Believe me when I say it's Gover
'Cause GI know I know I know
DI tried but I can't Bmfake it
I see you Gcalling but I know I can't Emtake it

Been Ghere before you should've Emknow
You can't have it Dall
Been Ghere before you should've Emknow

AOh you know you Bmleft me sideways
AI'm done with all your Bmhi's and goodbye's babe
ASometimes the stars don't Bmalign and it's okay
GYeah we're broken and oh you can't take it

DAfter covering all those Bmbases
Been Ghere before you should've Emknow
