[Intro]

[Verse]
Am                            G        C G
■  Please don’t take this the hard way ■ ■
Am                    G       
■  We been takin’ the hard way
C                                          Am  
Gotta clear my head and find that peace of mind
C                             Am  
So delicate I need to take my time
      G       D        
And I waitfor an answer
             Am   
But it never comes
     C                           Am  
No I never got quite used to the idea
     C                                       
Of a world that still exists without you here
Am       G                 D   
Where it starts and how it ends
               Am           
Guess we never know the plan
       C                              Am7 
Well I left it all behind some secret door
     C                             Am7 
In a place I used to go but not no more
      G           D                Am7          Am
And I can't can’t compete with who I used to be ■ 
Asus4 Am                        G           
■     ■  Please don’t take this the hard way
Am7 Am                G           
■   ■  We been takin’ the hard way
           C                             Am                   
You should know it wasn’t you but rather something stuck in me
      C                               Am                
And I never took for granted all your gifts and memories
      G              D   
And I swear that I'm fine
             Am             
Gonna get it right this time
      C                                  Am              
And I guess I loved it more than I could ever love myself
      C                               Am                     
Cos I left a real big part of me back there with someone else
       G               D      
When I look at all the reasons
                     Am       Am7 Am
They never make much sense at all ■ 
            C                                 Am      Am7      
And there's nothing you can say to me that’ll help me to forget
      Cmaj7                             
And I don’t know when the time will come
      Am      Am7           
But I know it ain’t just yet
        G         D                   Am         
So I’ll go out to find what it is I’m looking for
C           G         D                Asus4   Am7
■ Oh here I go out to find what is I’m looking for
C G D Am7 C Cmaj7
■ ■ ■ ■   ■ ■    
G D Am7 Am
■ ■ ■   ■
