Verse 2:

I know its been a while since I talked to you
Nothing wrong, it's just nothing ever goes as planned

When no more tears will fall
        C2 (x32030@1)             AmWe (x02210@1)each forgive a little bit,
                          DThen (xx0232@1)we both look back on it

As just bad timing that's all.

(Instrumental verse)

Verse 3:
Used to have so many plans
Something always seemed to turn out wrong.
Never could catch up to you
Many on and doing all you've done
I don't know why, the harder I try, the harder it comes

(chorus)
