C G/B Am G
I told you I would be there for you;
C G/B Am G
a promise I intend to keep.
C G/B G
But the subject matter hits a little too close to home.
Am G Fsus2 G-Fsus2-G
and now I can't take back what I gave.
C G/B Am G
With all the times we've seen, the states that we've been in,
C G/B Am G
you always saved me from my troubled self, it seemed,
C G/B
but now I'm hearing all these words you say,
Am G Am G Fsus2
and I'm not sure if I can stay and listen to you melting all my dreams.
Chorus:
Csus2 C G/B Am G
Baby it's you that kept my feet on the ground
Csus2 C G/B Am G
thought that I could choose if I always wanted you around
Csus2 C G/B Am G
darling I do think we need time apart,
Am G Fsus2
I still need time to mend my broken seams.
C G/B Am G
I told you I would listen to you,
C G/B Am
so I'm all ears.
C G/B Am G
But don't ask me to respond to your pleas for my advice,
Am G Fsus2
'cause now I'm too burdened to speak.
Am G F
I think the time has come for me to go... oh,
Dm C G
I can't be by myself, but there is no-one else,
Dm C G
and well it hurts to know someone else tastes your lips,
Dm C F G
but I cannot forget how hard I cried when I discovered you had lied,
Am G F
when you said I could never hurt like this.
Fsus2 Am G C
C G/B Am G
Cause I'm weary, I'm so weary, I told you I'd be there,
C G/B Am
I'm broken, I'm so broken but I'm here.
C G/B Am G
It's painful, it's so painful, I told you I'd be -
Am G Fsus2
these are secrets I cannot afford to hear,
Am G Fsus2
oh well these are secrets I cannot afford to hear, no no.
