C          G/B      Am            G
I told you I   would be there for you; 
  C        G/B            Am    G
a promise I   intend to keep. 
        C              G/B                         G  
But the subject matter hits a little too close to home. 
        Am                 G      F9   G - F9 - G
and now I can't take back what I gave. 
               C               G/B                    Am           G
With all the times we've seen,       the states that we've been in,
             C                 G/B          Am          G
you always saved me from my troubled self, it seemed, 
               C                G/B   
but now I'm hearing all these words you say, 
  Am                G               Am               G             F9
and I'm not sure if I can stay and listen to you melting all my dreams. 



Chorus: 
           C9  C               G/B          Am    G
Baby it's you      that kept my feet on the ground
                 C9  C           G/B      Am              G
thought that I could    choose if I always wanted you around
         C9    C             G/B     Am G
darling I     do  think we need time apart, 
       Am              G            F9
I still need time to mend my broken seams.  


  C          G/B        Am           G
I  told you I    would listen to you, 
      C   G/B         Am
so I'm   all ears. 
            C           G/B           Am              G
But don't ask me to respond to your pleas for my advice, 
            Am           G       F9
'cause now I'm too burdened to speak. 


   Am                      G         F 
I think the time has come for me to go... oh,
           Dm                      C             G
I can't be by myself, but there is no-one else, 
             Dm                                    C       G
and well it hurts to know someone else tastes your     lips, 
         Dm              C               F                      G
but I cannot forget how hard I cried when I discovered you had lied, 
       Am                  G                F  
when you said I could never hurt like this. 

F9    Am   G   C

          C             G/B         Am                 G
Cause I'm weary, I'm so weary,      I        told you I'd be there, 
       C            G/B            Am
I'm broken, I'm so broken but I'm here. 
     C                  G/B     Am            G
It's painful, it's so painful, I    told you I'd be - 
            Am                G       F9                   
these are secrets I cannot afford to hear, 
                  Am                  G      F9
oh well these are secrets I cannot afford to hear, no no.
