[Verse 1]
Even if we bAboth break down tonCmight
And you say you hate Bbme
And we go to bed anFmgry
I know everythAbing will be alrCmight
I'll be here waiBbting
I promise I'm chanFmging
I just need...
[Verse 2]
AbA little time to show you I'm worth it
CmI know that I can be a difficult person
BbI'm a stress case, drive you up the wall when I'm workin'
FmActually, I'm probably worse when I'm not
You don't deserve it
[Verse 3]
AbMake you nervous 'cause you know I'ma break soon
CmEvery time I do, I say somethin' that hurts you
BbActin' like I'm gone but we both in the same room
FmI don't like to be wrong, which I know you relate to
[Verse 4]
AbAnd I know I make you feel like you're at the end of your road
CmThat's when I look at you and tell you I'd be better alone
BbThat's just the pride talkin', isn't it?
'Cause both of us know
FmI'm the definition of "wreck" if you look into my soul
[Verse 5]
AbComes out the most when I feel I'm in a vulnerable place
CmMade a lot of mistakes I wish I knew how to erase
BbWhen I'm afraid, might get distant and I push you away
FmBut no matter the case, I'ma do whatever it takes
[Pre-Chorus]
Even if we bAboth break down tonCmight
And you say you hate Bbme
And we go to bed anFmgry
I know everythAbing will be alrCmight
I'll be here waiBbting
I promise I'm chanFmging
I just need...
[Chorus]
AbTime (Oh)Cm  
I-I need timBbe (Oh, Fmoh)
AbI just need time (Oh)Cm  
BbI-I need time (Oh)Fm  
AbTime (Oh), tCmime (OBbh)Fm  
[Verse 6]
AbYeah, way before I bought you the ring
CmWe were fighting back and forth like you were wearin' the thing
BbTwo passionate people not afraid to say what they think
FmLead to passionate conversation when it's hard to agree
[Verse 7]
You know me welAbl
Sittin' on the edge of my seat
CmLookin' at life, overanalyzin' everything
BbAlways depressed, tryna find a better version of me
FmSearching for somethin' I know's prolly right in front of my feet
[Verse 8]
AbStubborn as me? Maybe not, but you're close to it
CmGot a lot of issues, I'm tryna work through 'em
BbGoing to therapy for you's somethin' that's worth doin'
FmWhen I know you been there for me through all of my worst moments
[Verse 9]
AbAnd I know it hurts knowing that I carry this weight on my chest
CmMaking it difficult for me to open up and connect
BbA lot of regrets, I apologize for all of the stress
FmThat's not what I meant to do
You know I love you to death
[Pre-Chorus]
Even if we bAboth break down tonCmight
And you say you hate Bbme
And we go to bed anFmgry
I know everythAbing will be alrCmight

[Verse 1]

Ab Cm

Even if we both break down tonight

And you say you hate me

And we go to bed angry

Ab Cm

I know everything will be alright

I'll be here waiting

I promise I'm changing

I just need...

[Verse 2]

A little time to show you I'm worth it

I know that I can be a difficult person

I'm a stress case, drive you up the wall when I'm workin'

Actually, I'm probably worse when I'm not

You don't deserve it

[Verse 3]

Make you nervous 'cause you know I'ma break soon

Every time I do, I say somethin' that hurts you

Actin' like I'm gone but we both in the same room

I don't like to be wrong, which I know you relate to

[Verse 4]

And I know I make you feel like you're at the end of your road

That's when I look at you and tell you I'd be better alone

That's just the pride talkin', isn't it?

'Cause both of us know

I'm the definition of "wreck" if you look into my soul

[Verse 5]

Comes out the most when I feel I'm in a vulnerable place

Made a lot of mistakes I wish I knew how to erase

When I'm afraid, might get distant and I push you away

But no matter the case, I'ma do whatever it takes

[Pre-Chorus]

Ab Cm

Even if we both break down tonight

And you say you hate me

And we go to bed angry

[Verse 6]

Yeah, way before I bought you the ring

We were fighting back and forth like you were wearin' the thing

Two passionate people not afraid to say what they think

Lead to passionate conversation when it's hard to agree

[Verse 7]

You know me well

Sittin' on the edge of my seat

Lookin' at life, overanalyzin' everything

Always depressed, tryna find a better version of me

Searching for somethin' I know's prolly right in front of my feet

[Verse 8]

Stubborn as me? Maybe not, but you're close to it
