D 1 bar  A 1 bar  G 2 bars x 4


             D         A       G
You could be happy and I won't know
                          D     A           G
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
                          D      A       G
And all the things that I wish I had not said
                             D       A     G
Are played on lips 'til it's madness in my head

                  Em         D     G
Is it too late to remind you how we were?
                         Em      D        G
But not our last days of silent, screaming blur
               Em       D        G
Most of what I remember makes me sure
                               D       A       G
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

             D        A        G
You could be happy, I hope you are
            D            A           G
You made me happier than I'd been by far
                   D     A         G
Somehow everything I own smells of you
                   D            A       G
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true



                       Em     D      G
Do the things that you always wanted to
                         Em        D            G
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
                     Em      D      G
More than anything I want to see you go
                D           A         G
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
