GOoEm7ohhhBmhA  
It’s a sGad song that has no eEm7nd
It’s a Bmbleeding heart that never meDnds
A minor Gmiracle we can still Em7pretend
After so BmlongD  
Did the Gapple fall too far from the treeEm7?
Did we gBmet lost in the space in-betwDeen?
But the Groots that we buried so deepEm7  
Will always be sBmtrongD  
[Chords]
Too late for lGullabiEmes
Too soon for Bmit alriDght
Love takes its Gtoll sometiEmmes
Let’s start a Bmclean slate, mistakes are Amoments iDn time
For eGvery time you ever raised up your hEmand
I’ll Bmgive you mine to show you I underDstand
You taught me to fGly by leEmarning tBmo fall
Ooo Dyeah
Love buGrns when it’s in the Em7blood
And god knows BmI burnt you the best I couDld
How can Gthree words be so miEm7sunderstood?
We got iBmt so wrongD  
Yeah the grGeatest gift that you ever gave to Em7me
You don’t know Bmyour strength ’till you’ve faced defDeat
So when evGerything’s just out of reaEm7ch
Keep holding oBmnD  
Too late for lGullabiEmes
Too soon for Bmit alriDght
Love takes its Gtoll sometiEmmes
Let’s start a Bmclean slate, mistakes are Amoments iDn time
For eGvery time you ever raised up your hEmand
I’ll Bmgive you mine to show you I underDstand
You taught me to fGly by leEmarning tBmo fallD

We built a Embrick wall but it’s all for noBmthing
Only bEmridges will cross this diviD/F#de
We both Emknow this road leads to nowBmhere
TheGre is nothing left for you to hEideEm
