Tom:
D
On the shore and i’m waving goodbye
Dmaj7
To a ship that has sailed
Em Em7
Maybe it’s only far to my eyes
Em A
It’s getting harder to tell
D
I could make a flotation device
Dmaj7
It wouldn’t carry me well
Em Em7
But well enough just to get to your side
Em A
So i can know how it felt
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm B Em
I only wanted you to be
G
What you’ve always been to me
A
Never saw it differently
[Chorus]
D
I can handle
G
All the pains of a broken heart
D
I can manage
G
All the days that we’ll spend apart
[Próxima Parte]
Em7
If i know
F#7 F#
When you go
Gmaj7 D Em7 D
You will be happier alone
D Dmaj7 D7
Dmaj7 (x2)
[Verse 2]
D
I’m unsure if your saying goodbye
Dmaj7
By saying nothing at all
Em Em7
Or maybe it’s just a matter of time
Em A
Before you give me a call
D
I’ve been makin it up in my mind
Dmaj7
I’m sure i’m guessin it wrong
Em Em7
The only way that i’ll know if i’m right
Em A
Is when you’re willing to talk
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm B Em
I only wanted you to be
[Próxima Parte]
Em7
If i know
F#7 F#
When you go
G D Em7 D
You will be happier alone
[Outro]
G D Dmaj7 D7 A Em
When you go
F#7 F#
Then i’ll know
Gmaj7 D Gm G D
You will be happier
