Verse 1
Cadd9 G
In the beginning I was up front
Em D
Nothing to think about, you'd always hear me out
Cadd9 G
We made a pact to never give up
Em D
When everything would change, we'd always stay the same
Pre-Chorus
Cadd9
Something went wrong along the way
G
You'd come around and there's nothing left to say
Em D
It's like we're strangers anyway, what more could you ask of me
Em7D Cadd9 Em7D Cadd9

It's been a long time coming, but everyone's gonna hear me now
Chorus
G
If I leave, bet you'll wish I'd stayed
D
Make you regret all the things you said to me
Em D Cadd9
You know that time can't help us now,
D Cadd9
If I leave this, if I leave this way
Verse 2
Cadd9 G
I've always been a man of action,
Em D
Never let anything keep ahold of me
Cadd9 G
Can always tell when something's missing,
Em D
Like I knew everything except for you and me
Pre-Chorus
Cadd9
I can't make you want to stay,
G
I'll take a shot but it's broken anyway
Em D
I still gave it everything, I guess I never catch my break

Chorus
G
If I leave, bet you'll wish I'd stayed
D
Make you regret all the things you said to me
Em D Cadd9
You know that time can't help us now,
D
You know that time can't help us now
G
If I leave I should move away,
D
And try to right all the wrongs we've ever made
Em D Cadd9
Well let your problems weight me down
D
If I leave this, if I leave this way.
Bridge
Em Cadd9
Never thought you'd be the last one standing
G D
Never thought that we would come this far
Em Cadd9
You'll always be there looking over my shoulder
G D
Come to terms with exactly what we are
Em Cadd9
Never thought you'd be the last one standing
G D
Never thought that we would come this far
Em Cadd9
You'll always be there looking over my shoulder
D
Come to terms with exactly what we are
Chorus
G
If I leave, bet you'll wish I’d stayed
D
Make you regret all the things you said to me

If I leave I should move away,
