[Intro]   
Am C F
[Verse 1]
It was somethinCg like distance
Something likGe fading away
It was nobodAmy's business
No one else Fcared anyway
It was somethCing like breaking
Something like Gfalling apart
But without yoAmu there's nothing
To keep me from Ffalling too far
[Chorus 1]
All thoCse thiBbngs that Awe wanted to Fsay
Got lefCt at tBbhe side of Aa road somepFlace
But iAmt's always Cbeen yFou
It's aAmlways beeCn youF  
[Verse 2]
Well nothing eClse mattered
Nothing else evGen came close
Even at our worsAmt we carried it better Fthan most
[Chorus 2]
All thoCse thiBbngs that wAe wanted tFo say
Got drCowned Bbin the riveAr and just wFashed away
But iAmt's always Cbeen yFou
It's Amalways Cbeen yFou
[Bridge]
DmPut aside the cAmruel things
CAnd goddamn the Fweddin' rings
DmTell me it's alCways been mFe
[Chorus 3]
All Cthose Fthings that Awe wanted Fto say
Well gCive me a Fchance and AI'll say thFem today

[Intro]

Am C F

[Verse 1]

It was something like distance

Something like fading away

It was nobody's business

No one else cared anyway

It was something like breaking

Something like falling apart

But without you there's nothing

To keep me from falling too far

[Chorus 1]

C Bb A F

All those things that we wanted to say

C Bb A F

Got left at the side of a road someplace

Am C F

But it's always been you

Am C F

It's always been you

[Verse 2]

Well nothing else mattered

Nothing else even came close

Am F

Even at our worst we carried it better than most

[Chorus 2]

C Bb A F

All those things that we wanted to say

C Bb A F

Got drowned in the river and just washed away

Am C F

But it's always been you

Am C F

It's always been you

[Bridge]

Dm Am

Put aside the cruel things

C F

And goddamn the weddin' rings

Dm C F

Tell me it's always been me

[Chorus 3]

C F A F

All those things that we wanted to say

C F A F

Well give me a chance and I'll say them today

Am C F

'Cause it's always been you

Am C F

And it's always been you

[Outro]

Am C F

It's the only thing I ever knew

Am C F

And it's always been you
