| Intro (and bridge) |
| E G# A-bar |
| ***Verse 1)*** |
| A | C# | C#2 | B/F# | B | A | |
| You're the closest | thing | I | have to | bring up in a | conversation |
| G# | B | E | |
| about a love that | didnt | last... |
| C# | C#2 | G#m | B | |
| but I could never | call | you | mine |
| A | |
| Cuz I could never | call myself yours.... |
| G# | B | - | E | |
| And if we were ever | meant | to b | e |
| C# | A | |
| well that would justify | destiny |
| G# | B2 | A | A3 | |
| its not that our love | died, just never really | bloo-o | omed |
| ****CHORUS********* ****CHORUS******** |
| E | C# | B/F# | |
| I cant let go | no I can't let go of | you. |
| B | A | E | |
| Your holding me back without even | tryin | to |
| E | C# | A | |
| I can't let go | I can't move on from | the past ... |
| B | |
| without | lifting a finger you're me back |
| ****BRIDGE********* |
| A | C# | B/F# | |
| then we saw our | paths di- | verge |
| B | A | |
| and I guess I felt | OK | about it |
| G# | B | E | |
| until you got with | another | man |
| C# | G#m | |
| then I couldn't | understand why it bothered me so |
| G# | B2 | A | A3 | |
| no we didn't die we just | never had a | chance to | grow |
| --REPEAT CHORUS-- |
| second bridge (all bar chords) |
| F# | G# | |
| and it maight not make much sense | to you and any of my friends but |
| A | B | |

| F# | G# | |
| and you cant lose what you never had | i dont understand why I feel sad |
| A | B | |
| everytime I see you out with | someone newwww |
| --Repeat CHORUS |
