Bare Chords

[Intro]
 
A Em (x6)
 
[Verse 1]
Em             A
If you've got something left to say
A             Em
You'd better say it now
A
Anything but "stay"
A     Em
Just say it now
Em  A
We know we've reached the end
A        Em
We just don't know how
Em        A
"well at least we'll still be friends"
A              Em
Yeah one last useless vow
Em         A
One last useless vow
 
A Em (x2)
 
[Verse 2]
Em          A
"there are different ways to live"
A       Em
Yeah I know that stuff
A
"other ways to give"
A    Em
Yeah all that stuff
Em   A
But holding onto used to be
A  Em
Is not enough
A
Memory's not life
A    Em
And it's not love
 
[Chorus 1]
G                    D
We should let it all go
G                   D
It never stays the same
G               D
So why does it hurt me like this
Dm                      Gm
When you say that I've changed?
Dm                      Gm
When you say that I've aged?
Dm      Gm
Say I'm afraid
 
[Solo]
A  Em (x4)
 
[Verse 3]
Em           A
And all the tears you cry
A            Em
They're not tears for me
Em  A
Regrets about your life
A            Em
They're not regrets for me
Em  A
It never turns out how you want
A    Em
Why can't you see?
Em A
It all just slips away
A  Em
It always slips away
Em         A
Eventually
 
A Em (x4)
 
[Verse 4]
Em                A
So if you've got nothing left to say
A    Em
Just say goodbye
A
Turn your face away
A   Em
And say goodbye
Em  A
You know we've reached the end
A        Em
You just don't know why
Em      A
And you know we can't pretend
A     Em
After all this time
 
[Chorus 2]
G                   D
So just let it all go
G                      D
Nothing ever stays the same
G               D
So why does it hurt me like this
Dm                 Gm
To say that I've changed?
Dm                Gm
To say that I've aged?
Dm      Gm
Say I'm afraid
 
[Ending]
N.C.            Em
But there are long long nights when I lay awake
Em     F#m
And I think of what I've done
F#m          Em
Of how I've thrown my sweetest dreams away
Em             F#m
And what I've really become
F#m    Em
And however hard I try
Em     F#m
I will always feel regret
Em
However hard I try
Em      F#m
I will never forget
F#m      A
I will never forget
A        Em
I will never forget
Em       A
I will never forget
A        Em
I will never forget
Em       A
I will never forget
