Ben Platt - carefully

[Intro]
Fmaj7 C Am G

[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
I always found it funny
C
That your favorite part of a movie
Am G
Was trying to guess the end before I could
Fmaj7
I should have seen it coming
C
But I got so lost in the story
Am G
It was over long before I understood

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 Am
And I can’t stop your storm from rollin’ in

And wrecking things
C G
But shelter me until it’s through
Fmaj7 Am
And all this time you’ve had a gentle way of holding me
C G
So could you please release me that way too?

[Chorus]
Fmaj7
‘Cause it’s okay to say goodbye
C
Some things live, but all things die
Am G
And I can let go of all of the things I hoped we’d be
Fmaj7
And I don’t need the reasons why
C
‘Cause we both know how hard wе tried
Am G
If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need
Fmaj7 C Am G
Brеak it carefully, break it carefully

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
Well don’t you think it’s funny?
C
That I’m asking you for your mercy
Am G
After all the nights you asked me for a dance
Fmaj7
I guess I’m kinda lucky
Em
That we got so close to the real thing
Am G
When so many never even get the chance

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 Am
And I can’t stop your storm from rollin’ in

And wrecking things
C G
But shelter me until it’s through
Fmaj7 Am
And all this time you’ve had a gentle way of holding me
C G
So could you please release me that way too?

[Chorus]
Fmaj7
‘Cause it’s okay to say goodbye
C
Some things live, but all things die
Am G
And I can let go of all of the things I hoped we’d be
Fmaj7
And I don’t need the reasons why
C
‘Cause we both know how hard wе tried
Am G
If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need

Brеak it carefully

[Bridge]
Fmaj7
I could leave all this behind me
C
If I could remember you kindly
Am
I could leave all this behind me
G
If I could remember you kindly
Fmaj7
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
C
If I could remember you kindly
Am
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
G
If I could remember you kindly
Fmaj7
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
C
If I could remember you kindly
Am
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
G
If I could remember you kindly
Fmaj7
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
C
If I could remember you kindly
Am
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
G
If I could remember you kindly

Fmaj7 C

[Outro]
Am G
If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need
Fmaj7 C Am G
Break it carefully, break it carefully
