C#m

F#m7

[Verse 1]

A C#m B

I know you tried to cut out the noise

A C#m B

To get me to hear the love in your voice

A C#m B

But I was so deaf to all but myself

A C#m B

So you just went silent, stopped trying to help

[Pre-Chorus]

F#m7

It took a while to realise but things are clearer over time

C#m B

And those mistakes we made were mine

[Chorus]

A C#m B

But what if, what if we'd held on for longer?

A C#m B

Or what if, what if breaking made us stronger?

A C#m B

Either way, I'm contemplating if there's way to get you back

A C#m B A C#m B

'Cause every day I'm tired of thinking what if, what if, what if, what if

[Verse 2]

A C#m B

Well I know you tried to get me to see

A C#m B

Myself in the mirror the way that you saw me

A C#m B

But I was so blind, that all I could do

F#m7 C#m B

Was think that my darkness was the shadow of you

[Chorus]

A C#m B

But what if, what if we'd held on for longer?

A C#m B

Or what if, what if breaking made us stronger?

A C#m B

Either way, I'm contemplating if there's way to get you back

A C#m B

'Cause every day I'm tired of thinking what if, what if, what if

[Post-Chorus]

A C#m B

Every day I learn to love you a little more

A C#m B

And every day I swear to give you what I never gave before

A C#m B

If every day I learn to love you a little more

A C#m B

And every day I swear to give you what I never gave before

What I never gave before

[Break]

A C#m B

So what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if

[Chorus]

A C#m B

What if, what if we'd held on for longer?

A C#m B

What if, what if breaking made us stronger?

A C#m B

Either way, I'm contemplating if there's way to get you back

A C#m B

'Cause every day I'm tired of thinking what if, what if, what if

[Post-Chorus]

A C#m B

Every day I learn to love you a little more

A C#m B

And every day I swear to give you what I never gave before

A C#m B

If every day I learn to love you a little more

A C#m B

And every day I swear to give you what I never gave before
