[ verse 1 ]

F/E F
you stood and cleared your throat
F/E F
then every word you spoke
F/E F F/E F
seemed to fall out of your mouth hit the ground and explode
Am
something about the truth and that you wanted me to know
Am
i was working all the time and that you hadn’t been alone
F/E F F/E F
you said that you were sorry , how it had been hell
F/E F F/E F
it hadn’t been at home , cause you’d been in a hotel
Am
turned your phone towards me
Am
and i felt the world melt
Am
cause i was looking at a picture of you and someone else
[ pre – chorus ]

G
as the saying goes

it’s better late than never
G
there’s pride before a fall

if you love them set them free

how quickly i forgot that i had come so far

because you said it hurt to see me do it to myself
