[ E ] [ E4 ]
Take your closest friends
[ E ] [ A ]
Look them right in the eyes they will not lie
[ A ] [ G ] [ E ]
They will not wince
[ E ] [ A ] [ E ] [ A ] [ E ](LISTEN FOR RYTHEM)
[ E ] [ E4 ]
And when someone new steps in
[ E ] [ A ]
Give them time, give them mind, open your life
[ A ] [ E ]
But don't let them win
A E A A E (SAME AS BEFORE )
[ B5 ] [ A4 ]
Cause certain types of souls delight in breaking
[ A4 ] [ E ] [ E4 ]
Lately all of my hopes have been tied up with a stranger
[Badd4]
She made me think I could change her
[ Abm ] [ A9 ]
She made me think that my love was her own
[ A9 ] [ E ] [ E4 ]
Because she came from a broken home she was alone in her anger
[Badd4]
And Claimed she couldn't remember
[ Abm ] [ A9 ]
But the pain, it was etched in her bones
[Badd4]
If a seed never sees the sunlight
[ A ] [ E ]
Tell me, how the hell it's supposed to grow?
E/E/E/E THROW IN SOME OPEN STRINGS AND E4
[ E ] [ E4 ] [ E ]
If you have a daughter stay
[ E ] [ A ]
By her side, teach her right, her's is your life
[ A ] [ G ] [ E ]
Learn from your mistakes
[ A ] [ E ] [ A ] [ A ] [ E ]
[ E ] [ E4 ] [ E ]
And if you're sent a son
[ E ] [ A ]
Be a man, hold his hand, show him love can
[ A ] [ E ]
Be what makes men strong.
[ B5 ] [ A4 ]
Cause honesty is all you need to carry on
[ A4 ] [ E ] [ E4 ]
Lately all of my hopes have been tied up with a stranger
[Badd4]
She made me think I could change her
[ Abm ] [ A9 ]
She made me think that my love was her own
[ A9 ] [ E ] [ E4 ]
Because she came from a broken home she was alone in her anger
[Badd4]
And claimed she couldn't remember
[ Abm ] [Add9]
But the pain, it was etched in her bones
[Badd4]
If a seed never sees the sunlight
[ A ] [ E ]
Tell me, how the hell it's supposed to grow?

[ A9 ]
So much for heartbreak
[ C#m ]
I'm letting go
[ Abm ]
And I'll find forgiveness
[ A9 ]
For all of that went wrong in the world
[ C#m ]
For I know that goodness
Is all we can hold
[ Abm ] ([A9] let ring and play slow)
Yeah, all of the rest will fade
[ Am ]
As the dissonance resolves.
Then the chorus again
outro:
[Badd4] [ A ]
If a seed never sees
[Badd4] [ A ]
i said if a seed never sees the sun
[Badd4] [ A ]
if a seed never sees the sunlight
[ A ] [ E ]
tell me how the hell is it supposed to grow
