GI (320003@1)loved you then as I love you still
         DThough (xx0232@1)I put you on a pedestal
     EmThey (022000@1)put you on the pill
   C (x32010@1)                GI (320003@1)dont feel bad about letting you go
   D (xx0232@1)                CI (x32010@1)just feel sad about letting you know

C (x32010@1)                       GI (320003@1)dont want to change the world
                         EmIm (022000@1)not looking for a new England
