C#m (x13321@4)                AI (x02220@1)still remember the words you said
F#m (244222@1)                     B (x2444x@1)     G#They (xx1114@1)were hard enough to leave a mark
C#m (x13321@4)               AAnd (x02220@1)now they echo inside my head
F#m (244222@1)              B (x2444x@1)    G#As (xx1114@1)I spiral down into the dark

C#m (x13321@4)                  AAnd (x02220@1)by the time we all stopped to think
F#m (244222@1)               B (x2444x@1)      G#We (xx1114@1)were already too close to you
A (x02220@1)                 ENow (022100@1)you keep coming by
F#m (244222@1)           C#m (x13321@4)      BTelling (x2444x@1)me it's not what I think

Bridge:

A (x02220@1)      B (x2444x@1)           A (x02220@1)           BAnd (x2444x@1)far above me I can see the world

A (x02220@1)         B (x2444x@1)               AWas (x02220@1)all the time I spent with you

Verse 3:

N.C.
You said you're sorry, you said you'd try
But you never did, I guess we're done
Now bits of pieces of me float by
And I die in front of everyone
And you're already gone
Halfway to wherever you sleep
And you make me wish I never met you
