Esus4 (022200@1)                      E (022100@1) Dsus2but (xx0230@1)maybe there's no making it now 

Chorus:

Enow (022100@1)we're both tired of trying 
F#m (244222@1)                       Dsus2we (xx0230@1)hit a wall and we can't get over it 
Anothing (x02220@1)to relive 
      Eit's (022100@1)water under the bridge 
     F#myou (244222@1)said it, i get it 
           Dsus2i (xx0230@1)guess it is what it is 


Verse 2: same as verse 1
i was only trying to bury the pain 
but i made you cry and i can't stop the crying 
was only trying to save me 
but i lost you again 
now there's only lying 
wish i could say it's only me 


Chorus 2: same as previous chorus

Atoo (x02220@1)long we've been denying 
Enow (022100@1)we're both tired of trying 
F#m (244222@1)                       Dsus2we (xx0230@1)hit a wall and we can't get over it 
Anothing (x02220@1)to relive 
      Eit's (022100@1)water under the bridge 
     F#myou (244222@1)said it, i get it 
           Dsus2i (xx0230@1)guess it is what it is 

Bridge:

Dsus2 (xx0230@1)   
here it comes ready or not 
    Ewe (022100@1)both found out it's not how we thought 
     F#m (244222@1)            Bm (x24432@1)        C#5(just 1 strum)
that it would be, how it would be 
Dsus2
if the time could turn us around 
     Ewhat (022100@1)once was lost may be found 
     F#m (244222@1)            Bm (x24432@1)     C#5(just 1 strum)
for you and me, for you and me
