Ben&Ben - The Ones We Once Loved

Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
Em Am Dm G
Saw you singing your song the other day
Em Am Dm G
It’s been a long time since your eyes lit up that way
Em Am Dm G
I felt the guilt build up as I looked back how things went wrong
Em Am Dm
Did I have to sweep in and scar you?
Em Am Dm G
Five years, we shared the bittersweetness of our youth
Em Am Dm G
Then we broke up, because sometimes it is the best thing to do
Em Am Dm G
Did it ever cross your mind that maybe you hurt me too?
Em Am Dm
But I’m not taking it against you

[Pre-Chorus]
F
Since the beginning
G
I nevеr wanted anything
Em
But to see you reach your dreams
Am
I knеw that you just wanted me
Dm
But I had dreams of my own
G
And I just couldn’t let them go

[Chorus]
C Em
So I apologize, for coming into your life
Am
Just to break your heart in pieces
F
And then leave you in the night
C Em
I tried my best to stay by your side
Am
But who knew the rolling seasons
F
Would reveal that sometimes
Em7 Am
We aren’t meant to be the one
F G C
So goodbye to the ones we once loved

[Verse 2]
Em Am Dm G
Things got heavy and you expected more from me
Em Am Dm G
I tried to be there, to take away your tears
Em Am Dm G Em Am
But I didn’t notice that I was chipping away pieces of myself
Dm
‘Til there was nothing left to give
G
I didn’t even wanna live

[Chorus]
C Em
So I apologize, for coming into your life
Am
Just to break your heart in pieces
F
And then leave you in the night
C Em
I tried my best to stay by your side
Am
But who knew the rolling seasons
F
Would reveal that sometimes
Em7 Am
We aren’t meant to be the one
F G
So goodbye to the ones we once loved

[Bridge]
Am G#m7
I realized it wasn’t anyone’s fault at all
Gsus F#m6
It’s just that I wasn’t built to build you up when you fall
F
Maybe we were meant to be a lesson to each other
G
But I wish you well
G
And I’m sorry

[Chorus]
D F#m
Oh, I apologize, for coming into your life
Bm
Just to break your heart in pieces
G
And then leave you in the night
D F#m
I tried my best to stay by your side
Bm A
But who knew the rolling seasons
G
Would reveal that sometimes
Em Bm
We aren’t meant to be the one
G A
So goodbye to the one

[Outro]
Em Bm
I wasn’t meant to be the one
G A D
So goodbye to the ones we once loved
