[Intro]
G, D, Cadd9, G
G, D, Cadd9, D
G, D, Cadd9, G
G, D, Cadd9, G

[Verse 1]
(G)
I could have changed my mind, but tried to change you,
          Cadd9
What do I have to do? What do I have to do?,
  G
I should have seen it coming; should have seen it through,
          Cadd9
What do I have to do? What do I have to do?

[Chorus]
G   D         Cadd9      G
Who knew? Did you have a clue,
(G)               D        Cadd9      D
That we'd be the ones to stand in the sun,
G   D      Cadd9       G
Who knew what we could do?,
(G)            D       Cadd9       G
Carved out our names close to the flame.

[Verse 2]
I tried to land; I tried my hand at something new,
What do I have to do? What do I have to do?,
I'd rather turn away than sit and wait my turn,
Will you return? Will you return?.

[Chorus]
Who knew? I'd love to prove,
Without a doubt; dig our way out,
Who knew? Never talked it through,
Remember the day parting ways.

[Bridge]
G
How did I get it wrong,
          Cadd9
Played my part; played along,
         G
With it all; all to lose,
       Cadd9
Here I stand by you.

[Chorus]
Who knew the best we could do?,
Led out the door; nothing said; nothing more,
Who knew? Left with no clue,
We were the ones to stand in the sun (we were the ones),
We were the ones to stand in the sun (we were the ones),
We were the ones to stand in the sun.
