I've Cbeen trying so hard
waiDmting for something
got your picture bFeside my bed
When I look in yCour eyes
I can see Dma reflection
of the words that we Fleft
unsaid
And AmI was yours at the perfect tiFme

But I just had to leave
CHORUS:

Gadd9

I've been trying so hard

waiting for something

got your picture beside my bed

When I look in your eyes

I can see a reflection

of the words that we left

unsaid

Am F

And I was yours at the perfect time

C B Am Dm F

---

But I just had to leave

CHORUS:

C Dm

Looking back

F C

endless memories in a photograph

come back

F C Dm F

wishing for another day with you

I didn't see this coming

thought that we were fine

now I know I'm wrong

But the hardest part

is that goodbye is forever

and how you're moving on

Am F

And I was yours at the perfect time

C B Am Dm F

---

But I just had to leave

CHORUS:

C Dm

Looking back

F C

endless memories in a photograph

come back

F Am

wishing for another day with you

Holding hands in June

makes me think of you

Gadd9

and the way we danced

under the summer moon

When you laid me down

I softly hit the ground

Gadd9

I smile with the night

F E Dm

that's where it all felt right.

F E Dm

All felt right....

(AND REPEAT THE CHORUS)
