[Verse 1]

Bb/F F Bb/F F

My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away

Dm F/C G/B G F/A

But ev'ry now and then you come to mind

Bb F/A Dm Dm/C G7/B

Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game

Bb C4 C Dm Dm/C

But when your name was called you found a place to hide

Bb C4 C Bb/F F Bbmaj7/F F

When you knew that I was always on your side

[Verse 2]

Bb/F F Bb/F F

Well, everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent - But my

Dm F/C G/B G F/A

demons and my angels reappeared

Bb F/A Dm Dm/C G7/B

Leavin' only traces, of the man you thought I'd be

Bb C4 C Dm Dm/C

Too afraid to hear the words I’d always feared

Bb C4 C Bb/F F Bbmaj7/F

Leavin’ you with only questions all these years

[Bridge]

No, it isn't how it's really meant to be

[Verse 3]

Bb/F F Bb/F F

Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear

Dm F/C G/B G F/A

How to pull it close and make it stay

Bb F/A Dm Dm/C G7/B

If butterflies are free to fly and so they fly a-way

Bb C4 C Dm F/C

And I’m left to carry on and wonder why

Bb C4 C Bb/F F Bbmaj7/F F

Even through it all, I’m always on your side

Bb C4 C Bb/F F

When you know that I was always on your side
