capo: 2nd fret

[verse (1)]

G D
long hours and a few dyin’ flowers
Em C
But you never seem to stick around
G D
how could you let somethin’ so good
Em C
Go to waste and bleed the colours out?

[pre-chorus]

Em
You don’t– know what you got
D
‘til it’s gone– know when it’s right
Bm
‘til it’s wrong– in search of perfect
C
When you had it with you all along

Em
you broke her heart down with ease
D
now i’m pickin’ up every piece
Bm
you must be so
C
Hard to please

[chorus]

G D
I wish i could say
Em C
“thank you for all the mistakes
G D
Thank you for all of the pain”
Em
I guess somebody else’s loss
C
Is another’s gain
Em
I’m sayin’ thank you to the one
D C G
Who let her get away– away–

[verse (2)]

G
she gave you love
D
But it wasn’t enough
Em
You had your mind
C
Set out on other things
G
Can’t– sleep at night
D
Now you’re payin’ the price
Em
You let another come
C
And take your place

[pre-chorus]

Em
You don’t– know what you got
D
‘til it’s gone– know when it’s right
Bm
‘til it’s wrong– in search of perfect
C
When you had it with you all along

Em
you broke her heart down with ease
D
now i’m pickin’ up every piece
Bm
you must be so
C
Hard to please

[chorus]

G D
I wish i could say
Em C
“thank you for all the mistakes
G D
Thank you for all of the pain”
Em
I guess somebody else’s loss
C
Is another’s gain
Em
I’m sayin’ thank you to the one
D C
Who let her get away– away

[bridge]

Em
Thank you to the one who caused her heart to break
D
I’m thankin’ you for givin’ me a soul to save
Em
Thank you to the one
D
Who let her get away

[chorus]

G D
You know, i wish i could say
Em C
Thank you for all the mistakes
G D
Thank you for all of the pain”
Em
I guess somebody else’s loss
C
Is another’s
G D
Oh, i wish i could say
Em C
Thank you for all the mistakes
G D
Thank you for all of the pain
Em
I guess somebody else’s loss
C
Is another’s gain
Em
I’m sayin’ thank you to the one
D C
Who let her get away– away
