but all this time i could never tell
G#m E B F#
i let you get away haunts me every night & every day

you were the only one the only friend i counted on
G#m E
how could i watch you walk away

i’d give anything to have you here today
A#m F# C# G# A#m
but now i stand alone with my pride and dream
F# C# G#
that you’re still by my side but that was
D#m F#
yesterday i had the world in my hands

just a slight change of plans

G#m E
life that we both could share

A#m F# C# G#
but now i stand alone with my pride fighting back
A#m F# C# G#
the tears i never let myself cry but that was
D#m F#
yesterday love was torn from my hands
C#
but it’s not the end of my world
D#m
just a little hard to understand
