Capo: 2nd fret
[Intro]
Em D C Em D C
[Verse 1]
Em7I can take the raDin on the roof of this eCmpty house, that don't bother me
Em7I can take a few Dtears now and then and just lCet them out
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm not afrCaid to cry
Every once Din a while even though Emgoing on with you gone still upsets me
CThere are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay, but that's not what gets me
[Chorus]
  EmWhat hurts the mD/F#ost,  Cwas being so close
  GAnd having so much to say
  DAnd watchin you walk away
  EmNever knowiD/F#ng,   Cwhat could have been
  GAnd not seein that lovin yoDu
Is what I was tryin to Emdo
[Verse 2]
  Em7It's hard to deal with the Dpain of losing you everyCwhere I go, but I'm doin it
  Em7It's hard to force that Dsmile when I see our old Cfriends and I'm alone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Still harder Cgetting up, getting dressed, Dliving with this regret
EmBut I know if I could do it over
CI would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart that I left unspoken
[Chorus]
  EmWhat hurts the mD/F#ost,  Cwas being so close
  GAnd having so much to say
  DAnd watchin you walk away
  EmNever knowiD/F#ng,   Cwhat could have been
  GAnd not seein that lovin yoDu
Is what I was tryin to Emdo
[Pre-chorus 3]
I'm not afCraid to cry
Every once Din a while even though Emgoing on with you gone still upsets me
CThere are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay but that's not what gets me
[Chorus]
  EmWhat hurts the mD/F#ost,  Cwas being so close
  GAnd having so much to say
  DAnd watchin you walk away
  EmNever knowiD/F#ng,   Cwhat could have been
  GAnd not seein that lovin yoDu
Is what I was tryin to Emdo
