[Verse 1]
AbThere is so many ways
BbTo save the day
EbUtter three words, and I will stay.
AbBut, you don't know,
BbKnow what they are,
EbDo you?
[Pre-Chorus]
FmIt's clear as day, why did I Gmever stay?
EbYour words were sugar, but your Abtouch was pain.
FmYou were not good for me, Bbthat much is crystalline.
And Ebnow it's Bbtime for Gmme to lAbeave...
[Chorus]
AbYelling, Bbscreaming, it's Eblike you Bbsee right Abthrough me.
AbThought I needed to be strong and just cBbarry on,
BbBut you Abhad different Cmplans.
AbMake it try, then Bbsay goodbye; Ebwhy dBbid I Abever hope?
AbYou didn't care, you would just Bbstop and stare.
How Ebcruel is reBbality, Abmnever giving Ebinto me.
Time Abto lift myseBblf off the gEbround.
[Verse 2]
AbThen I'd remember that day,
BbWhen we'd lay
EbLooking at the blossoms
On my G#backGmyard's tEbrees
But G#by the end of May
Our Gmbloom was Ebgloom, Fmafterall
[Verse 3]
AbSo, how could it be?
The day you Ebfirst saw me
You drGmowned me with love
And now I hEbave Gmno Fmsea.
