Tom : F
F C Bb
You could be happy and I won't know
F C Bb
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
F C Bb
And all the things that I wish I had not said
F C Bb
Are played on lips 'til it's madness in my head
Gm F Bb
Is it too late to remind you how we were?
Gm F Bb
But not our last days of silent, screaming blur
Gm F Bb
Most of what I remember makes me sure
F C Bb
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
F C Bb
You could be happy, I hope you are
F C Bb
You made me happier than I'd been by far
F C Bb
Somehow everything I own smells of you
F C Bb
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Gm F Bb
Do the things that you always wanted to
Gm F Bb
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
Gm F Bb
More than anything I want to see you go
F C Bb
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
