C5          G5      A5            G5
I told you I   would be there for you; 
  C5        G5            A5    G5
a promise I   intend to keep. 
        C5              G5                         G5  
But the subject matter hits a little too close to home. 
        A5                 G5      F5   G5 - F5 - G5
and now I can't take back what I gave. 
               C5               G5                    A5           G5
With all the times we've seen,       the states that we've been in,
             C5                 G5          A5          G5
you always saved me from my troubled self, it seemed, 
               C5                G5   
but now I'm hearing all these words you say, 
  A5                G5               A5               G5             F5
and I'm not sure if I can stay and listen to you melting all my dreams. 



Chorus: 
           C5  C5               G5          A5    G5
Baby it's you      that kept my feet on the ground
                 C5  C5           G5      A5              G5
thought that I could    choose if I always wanted you around
         C5    C5             G5     A5 G5
darling I     do  think we need time apart, 
       A5              G5            F5
I still need time to mend my broken seams.  


  C5          G5        A5           G5
I  told you I    would listen to you, 
      C5   G5         A5
so I'm   all ears. 
            C5           G5           A5              G5
But don't ask me to respond to your pleas for my advice, 
            A5           G5       F5
'cause now I'm too burdened to speak. 


   A5                      G5         F5 
I think the time has come for me to go... oh,
           D5                      C5             G5
I can't be by myself, but there is no-one else, 
             D5                                    C5       G5
and well it hurts to know someone else tastes your     lips, 
         D5              C5               F5                      G5
but I cannot forget how hard I cried when I discovered you had lied, 
       A5                  G5                F5  
when you said I could never hurt like this. 

F5    A5   G5   C5

          C5             G5         A5                 G5
Cause I'm weary, I'm so weary,      I        told you I'd be there, 
       C5            G5            A5
I'm broken, I'm so broken but I'm here. 
     C5                  G5     A5            G5
It's painful, it's so painful, I    told you I'd be - 
            A5                G5       F5                   
these are secrets I cannot afford to hear, 
                  A5                  G5      F5
oh well these are secrets I cannot afford to hear, no no.
