[Intro]
FGsus4
  (2x)
[Verse 1]
     F                          Gsus4
A strangled smile fell from your face
     F                          Gsus4
It kills me that I hurt your this way
      F                              Gsus4
The worst part is that I didn't even know
[Pre-Chorus]
              Am                  G      D
Now there's a million reasons for you to go
        Am            G         F
But if you can find a reason to stay
[Chorus]
                      C               G/B
I'll do whatever it takes, To turn this around
                    Am                             F
I know what's at stake, I know that I've let you down
                        C               G/B
And if you give me a chance, Believe that I can change
                Am                   F
I'll keep us together, whatever it takes

[Verse 2]
        F                          Gsus4
She said if we're gonna make this work
          F                            Gsus4
You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
               F                           Gsus4
Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see
[Pre-Chorus 2]
         Am                    G               D
She said like it or not it's the way it's gotta be
          Am                       G         F
You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me
[Chorus 2]
                     C                  G/B
I'll do whatever it takes, To turn this around
                    Am                             F
I know what's at stake, I know that I've let you down
                      C                      G/B
And if you give me a chance, And give me a break
                  Am                G
I'll keep us together, I know you deserve much better
[Bridge]
     F                            C             G
But remember the time I told you the way that I felt
      F                           C           G
That I'd be lost without you and never find myself
      F                     C               G
Let's hold onto each other above everything else
      Dm            F
Start over, start over
[Chorus 3]
                       C                  Gm
I'll do whatever it takes, To turn this around
                     F
I know what's at stake, I know that I've let you down
                       C                          G/B
And if you give me a chance, Believe that I can change
     Am                            F
I'll keep us together, whatever it takes
