Intro:  F   C    G   F   C  G  
I Cnever Fmeant to make Cyou cry
A Cfool I was, I Fnever meant to say Cgoodbye
FCan't you feel the pressure drop, can't you see the pressure's off?
CHeaven's here in front of me, I can't breathe and I can't speak
FBaby, I never realized...G  
As the Cdays and nights roll onF  
I've prayed for these Cmoments since the day I was Fborn
But oh, God, Dmbaby I never realized
The Gjoy till the joy was Cgone
I know I'm wrong, I know I was so blind
And worst of all, I saw the tears, I saw you cry
FAnd you can build Gwalls to surround you
But I'd Ftear down this Gworld till I found you
FYou're the treasure, belGieve me I need you
Come Chome
And as time rolls on, I've been fighting since the day I was born
But oh, God, baby I never realized
The joy till the joy was gone
