D               A
Like the light was all I had
  Em                Bm         A
I struck the book with my last match
D                    A
The candle burned so soft and slow
 Em                    Bm       A
I felt the warmth and felt its glow
D              A
Salt tasting tears
     Em   
They roll of of my lips
         Bm            A          D             A
One for each day I'm inside this house, it's a trap
       Em                      Bm              A            D
One I can't quite escape so pretend it's the place that I love
              D      A  G
Won't let it pass me by again
              D      A   D
Won't let it pass me by again
D    
The grass was clipped
A
The summer sun
Em                      Bm    A
Was beating down on my front yard
D                  A
All the boys and girls would laugh
  Em                          Bm      A
I'd watch them through the curtain's crack
D                        A
Place all your bets and watch me lose
Em                   Bm        A
The life that I got but never used
D            A            Em
Dream every night that one will come true
 Bm                D
But only bad ones ever do
               D     A  G
Won't let it pass me by again
              D      A  D
Won't let it pass me by again

NOTE: Hold the D for a while, Then switch back and forth between a D and G.

D                     G
My heart beats way too fast
     D               A        G
To let regret sit in my lap

Won't let it pass me by again
