AHeard it for yEears, but I cover my eBmars, I didn't want Dto

ASame as the dEay, feeling the wBmay like I always dDo
[Pre-Chorus]
BmAll this time I've cDared about you
BmAll the while just mDe without you
[Chorus]
AI've taken a whEile to write this sBmong cause I was afrDaid I'd get it wrAong
At the end of the dEay though, it's better to tBmry
Cause at the end of the dDay now I'm out of tBmime
I'm thrDough kAeeping it back from yBmou
But today, what can I sDay?
I'm lettin' it plAay
EMm Bmmm Dmm Yeah I' lettin' it pAlay mm mm x2
[Verse 2]

AAnd it could be so eEasy, I know
But these wBmords aren't good enough so DI'll let em go

BmAll this time I've cDared about you
BmAll the while just mDe without you
[Chorus]
AI've taken a whEile to write this sBmong cause it's only cliDches all day longA
